Andrelton Simmons Hall of Fame chances are the theme of today’s video. In a KZbin landscape filled with Andrelton Simmons defensive highlights, we certainly enjoy our web gems, but this episode of Baseball Bits, a Foolish Baseball production, is about MLB defensive metrics and MLB analytics, particularly Defensive Runs Saved, Ultimate Zone Rating, and Statcast Outs Above Average.
The Andrelton Simmons Angels have exciting players like Rendon, Trout, and Pujols, but Andrelton Simmons is also a star. I believe he has a good chance to make it to Cooperstown. I talk about Omar Vizquel Hall of Fame voting and Ozzie Smith to determine Simba’s chances. I also argue for his inclusion in the discussion of the best defensive shortstop of all time. I start the video with a clip from the Andrelton Simmons Braves days. He really generated some Andrelton Simmons braves highlights.
Enjoy the video!
