The TOP 10 PROSPECTS from 2011. Where Are They Now?

Big step up in quality here, well done

Thanks man I appreciate it!

How are you verified

[@hungry_man2910]

Hi jolly

[@marychilders4817]

Love your videos too.

[@terryfronk9507]

Dom Brown just brings back painful memories. Almost every team in baseball was willing to give up everything for him until of course he finally became full time starter.

[@AndThatsBaseball]

It was kinda crazy to me how quick the Phillies gave up on him too considering they held onto him for so long and he was actually pretty solid for a little

[@RedPolarBearRanger]

Despite Dominic Brown’s struggles I still think he was a great player for the Phillies. Speaking of the Phillies Bryce Harper has been on fire lately in regards to the post season he made it to his first World Series ever.

[@joshmason1460]

We are phuckin thrilled to have him!! The excitement around here is insane right now!! Regardless of how it ends, I’m thankful as hell for Bruce and the rest of the fellas for bringing some baseball excitement back to Philly!! And shoutout to Trout too!! Kinda cool to say one of the best ever grew up 15 minutes away from where I did!!

[@AndThatsBaseball]

Idk why THIS video is blowing up right now. I’ve probably made 20 videos better since then, be sure to check out some of my newer stuff for actual good content

[@kyle3402]

Mike trout is pound for pound the best player the game has seen since Junior. In some ways better but his health has been a major concern of the last couple of years. The 2011 class was epic!

[@brandonlorch6825]

Trout is better than Griffey

[@ml242]

@@brandonlorch6825 yeah, griffey was not close to Trout and a bit overrated imo even if he was a clear HOF'er.

[@antiBOARDom]

Dude this is very high quality content, thank you 👍🏻

[@SABRMatt2010]

As a diehard Mariners fan...this list makes me hurt in so many ways. :(

Hopefully your Channel blows up soon, just randomly ran into some of your vids and subscribed hopefully that algorithm helps you out! Good videos man

[@AndThatsBaseball]

It’s been helping a ton this past week, I was at 1.3k subs last Friday. Glad you like the vids!

[@bigjared8946]

Damn. I almost forgot what a glorious sight it is when Jesus Montero "runs".

[@MikeM6363]

Or throws an ice cream sandwich he was eating at a scout!

[@cobly6873]

Sucks that Jesus Montero didn’t have a better/longer career in the mlb. When I was a kid I went to a ton of games when he was playing for the mariners AAA affiliate and he threw me quite a few third-out balls over the course of those seasons. One time he even hit a homer in BP and then signed the ball for my mom on her birthday.

[@AndThatsBaseball]

It’s nice to know that he was a cool guy but now I feel worse that his career burned out

[@Shaner373]

Hosmer must have seen this video. He's tearing it up now

[@AndThatsBaseball]

It’s about time, padres fans wanted him to get the guillotine before the season 😂

[@EloyFernandes91]

[@Slippas3]

this was a great video, earned a dub 100%. cool to see myself in a home run clip too ! :)

[@AndThatsBaseball]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@Zaron_Gaming]

Ugh Jesus Montero.. I'm a mariner fan and that was a bad time. The Pineda trade looking back was brutal. Oh come on Ackley as well!? Oh this is brutal to watch. I had so much hope.. you are right the mariners failed him. It's brutal when you know who the club passed over in the draft

[@AndThatsBaseball]

Mariners had some talented guys in the early 2010s, sucks that they could never put it all together around king Felix. Ackley and Montero were supposed to be two generational contact hitters. I’m a Yankees fan, they were comparing Jesus to Miggy, then we traded him. Idk what we saw, maybe the bad work ethic, but Cashman sold at the right time.

[@Zaron_Gaming]

@@AndThatsBaseball at least you are a fan of a successful team. It boggles my mind to know that everything from 02-20 was pure mediocre at best. So many good players it's honestly to wrap the brain around it. Another one you can say the Mariners nearly broke was Zunino rushing him from AA to a crucial piece of the team. Just goes to show what bad management does to a club.

[@AndThatsBaseball]

Yeah, I feel like Yankees fans feel entitled sometimes. So many people wanna say fire Cashman when he’s never had a team below .500 and he’s always finding great deals on undervalued players. Even this year, we’ve had an insane amount of injuries yet we’re still competitive, I’m very lucky to root for this team.

[@aaronrichards19886]

I was such a Montero believer. I remember going all in buying his baseball cards. Now they sit in a closet and are worthless lol 😆.

[@stulog]

As also a Mariners fan, I somehow am both relieved and disappointed that you didn't bring up the "I've cream sandwich incident." As far as Ackley goes, I legit feel bad for him because Jack Z really did screw him. Jack Z literally had the strategy for a few years of "2nd basemen are usually really athletic, so we should get as many 2nd basemen as we possibly can and play them wherever, and I'm sure it will work out fine," and then would wonder why the team was usually near it at dead last in fielding. I remember there being a few games where I figured out there were like 4 or 5 2nd basemen playing in random places around the field. It should be noted that Jack Z is also the guy who later signed Robinson Cano just to make sure that no future M's 2nd base prospect would ever have the chance to come up to the majors playing his native position.

[@DisAccountizaMiracle]

Crazy. I was actually at the Montero - Mike Trout catch game 😮

[@jaken0613]

Ice Cream Sandwich

[@connorlane3527]

Harper this postseason is a great addition as well

[@jamswater]

IDEA FOR A VIDEO …. .. that somebody probably already commented, or another the KZbinr may be already made but AnyWho I think it would be really interesting to see what rounds or picks in draft either what ranking of prospects (like prospects with the ranking of 13 through 26 for an example ) have the best odds of becoming successful in the bigs. And since I know that whole long run on sentence was confusing another idea for a video that I haven’t seen is a top 10 of prospects with the number one ranking (or with in the top 10 prospect rankings) that ended up having successful careers with the guy at the top of the list having the best careers.

[@eganfo]

How did the Mariners fail Ackley? Moving from the infield to the outfield shouldn’t be hard.

[@AndThatsBaseball]

They picked him high and didn’t develop him lmao. They didn’t develop any of their hitters at the time.

[@Toketree]

This must have been made before Bryce won the NL MVP 2021 and in 2022 has his Phillies in the NLCS!!🎉🎉 Philly loves Bryce!!!

[@Mr.Miniguy]

Great video!

[@AndThatsBaseball]

Thanks! Appreciate the support!

[@Peterskillz]

Yeah Hosmer worked out so well in SD, they traded him while paying for the ENTIRE contract. That’s how much the padres valued his contributions to the team. One of the worst defending 1st baseman I’ve even seen

[@AndThatsBaseball]

Idk what happened to him, he had a solid 2020 then just fell back into the same awful habits from his first 2 years. It was a bad deal from the beginning but I never thought it would be this bad

[@fumpr84]

As a Royals fan, Hosmer was a great all-around player but got way too big of a contract from the Padres. I can't blame him for taking that deal, but he simply wasn't worth that much money.

[@nationalist818]

My Grandma lived accross the street from Chatsworth high ballfield once Moose hit a ball over the fence andbroke a window, next year the raised the fences after 50 years.

[@jamesgaston2745]

[@aidanbay8721]

Great video

[@gqbey]

the clip 11:20 is at my home HS , dude was unreal

[@THeSPARTEnMORTER21]

imma take a wild guess that Julio Teheran might not be 30 if you know what i mean. it should of been worth knowing that Harper signed a 330million $ deal and Trout signed a 450million $ contract extension... they will be playing in the league for a long time to come.

[@The_Diesel4]

Julio is 30. His issue was pitching tons of innings, a bad coaching staff, and likely a couple injuries he played through that formed bad habits

[@julienlozano2022]

Trout needs to request a trade to a contending team. The only thing he’s lacking is that ring.

[@highlanderdad1776]

Great video but I can't stop freestyling to the beat I guess that's a good thing😂

[@JP95_prodz]

[@markchalled3976]

Some prospects can't make the transition to the Show. Players that stay and make a difference work at it when they are at the top level.

[@bobfrick5630]

Prospects on the largest market teams always get a good 30 spot rise on the prospect list just because they are in that teams system. At least this is what it has seemed like.

[@AndThatsBaseball]

Don’t think so, there’s been plenty of top 10 prospects on mid/small market teams that have been busts (see all the mariners over the years)

[@theman1412]

I think that Haper and that Trout guy panned out

[@AndThatsBaseball]

Yeah they’re solid

[@Cheesefist]

Well, the Aroldis Chapmen section didn’t hold up did it?

[@AndThatsBaseball]

Nope, I didn’t realize he was using tack. Once he stopped, he was awful. And his huge ego also got in the way of him realizing he’s not the same guy anymore

You’re probably right to be puzzled, I wasn’t really good at this at the time. I haven’t watched this vid back in over a year so I’m sure I’d be confused about some of my decisions too.

[@The_Diesel4]

Braves messed up Julio imo. Also I’m 99% sure he got injured at some point and never let anyone know. His velo drop was drastic

[@AndThatsBaseball]

They picked him and didn't develop him well. They barely ever developed any hitters well.

[@vadenk4433]

Ackley’s knees were shot even as a rookie. They Mariners broadcast was ordered not to show him running or warming up before the game. It was that bad. Sources said he had the knees of a 70 year old at age 20. That said the M’s coulda screwed up Mike Trout. And I’m a true blue M’s lifer

[@AndThatsBaseball]

@@vadenk4433 I never heard about that, wow. If that's true, they didn't do enough homework on his health before the pick

[@jonbarlock848]

LMAO @ the Seattle Mariners!!!

[@jimmyhall4453]

Jason Hayward sure turned out a dud. He was drafted before Freddie Freeman & the scouts were beating off about how good he was going to be. Jason Hayward would hardly sign autographs for kids in low A & karma is a big reason he never made it in the bigs. Freeman was a crowd favorite & worked harder than any player on the team. Character should be one of the main elements when selecting a player…
