Elly at 100 is a war crime

[@collab9724]

I was more upset about Elly at 100, than Ohtani at 4... Elly is already better than at least 30 of these players listed

[@kyledaugherty1609]

You all are out your ever-loving minds not putting Shohei at #1. EDIT: And putting Aaron Judge one step above him is...I mean, is "farcical" a strong enough word? I feel like it needs to be stronger than that.

[@packers256]

My man, he isn't pitching this year. These rankings are for THIS YEAR

[@user-kk1bf6qu3w]

The ranking of 2024... Ohtani is in the realm of one god.

[@ydg8915]

MLB's disrespect for Shohei is crazy

[@88CDawg]

Not really, I find it a pretty fair ranking. He's not going to pitch in 2024 so you have to rank him by offense and do you think he's a better hitter than Judge, Betts and Acuna?

[@meifert2]

[@luismiguelmayo]

Looks like MLB staff who made this list don't know Shohei is a man of making impossible possible. He'll get his first NL-MVP this season, even though w/o pitching. And Yossy Yamamoto at 61st is obviously underrated. Yanks fans maybe forgot USA was beaten by Japan with only 4 majorleaguers.

[@emmanueltejedabottier]

#4 ohtani 🙄

[@Eddy41020]

The disrespect to Matt Olsen is insane..if Acuna doesnt have a remarkable historical season he easily takes NL MVP

[@J_Ru31352]

Nothing wrong with where Matt Olson is ranked. At least he's part of the Top 20. Just doesn't get the credibility his predecessor Freddie Freeman does.

[@foreverdnc123]

Last three seasons Matt Olson has missed a total of 6 games , hit 127 HRs and 353 RBIs. The last three seasons Mike Trout has missed 249 games with 66 HRs and 142 RBIs.

[@TheRealJuanWick_]

Ohtani at 4 is such a crime

[@potato__couch]

why?

[@vqgue3032]

he’s not pitching until 2025, so in a list for 2024 makes sense

[@ajwilson2518]

@TheRealJuanWick_ It’s not but ok.

[@KanetsuguNaoe1112]

Indeed. Right now MLB is just "Ohtani" and "the rest of the players".😂

[@Baker_229]

Even if he’s not pitching he should be higher bc he hits dingers

[@Lindsay-s9z]

Mookie betts ahead of ohtani and judge is crazy! Also elly at 100 was crazy!

[@Calico341]

Guys if Ohtani pitches he’s probably one

[@MrMackosProject]

If that’s the case, why is Edwin Diaz on this list at all? 😂😂

[@TheHENpp]

@@MrMackosProject because these are "projections" not "reflections."

[@88CDawg]

I would like to know what they use to rank pitchers and hitters together. They have such different skill sets and because of that, how do they rank them together? I'll use the top 10 as an example: How is Cole ranked higher than Julio when Julio doesn't pitch and Cole doesn't hit. I really think they need to rank hitters and pitchers separately.

[@SY-nq3qp]

should the NFL only rank by position as well?

[@88CDawg]

@@SY-nq3qp I don't know a lot about football so I can't really say.

[@SY-nq3qp]

@@88CDawg yes you can, it's not that complicated

[@TheHENpp]

You are correct. Pitchers should be a separate list from hitters. I guess, using this list, they can be sorted out into two separate lists. However, the thought process may be they already have done rankings for individual positions, including separate lists for SP and RP, respectively.

Why Juan Soto is under the Yankees band t Juan Soto playing for San Diego Padres

[@stiemerrrsskino]

Okay I know J-Rod is has the potential to become mvp more than once in his career and he has done well so far, but he should definetely not be at nr 10 at this moment. Maybe nr 25 at best

WHERE IS JOSH JUNG???? EVERYBODY JUST FORGET ABOUT HIM???

[@meifert2]

Will Smith rated above Sean Murphy and JT Realmuto is a joke.

[@KanetsuguNaoe1112]

Excuse me. Is this some kind of joke? How can a man who is the first two-way player in 100 years since Babe Ruth, who signed the highest paid contract in North American sports history at $700 million, and who was unanimously voted MVP two times in the last three years not be at the top of the list?😂😂😂

[@kcaustin904]

Because it’s a 2024 list and he can’t pitch the entire year.

[@88CDawg]

Because it's a list for 2024 and Ohtani isn't pitching in 2024 so it knocks his ranking down a bit. If Ohtani was hitting and pitching in 2024, he would be #1

[@meifert2]

Because he isn't pitching until 2025

[@latishiarb1780]

I feel Ohtani should have been #2, Betts #3, Freeman #4, Olson #5. The #1 is well deserving to Acuña... This year is already getting us excited about Ohtani & Acuña in NL. Battle of the East & West again with Braves & Dodgers

[@jroggs85]

It might help if this channel explained the metric(s) they're using to rank these players. I would assume it's projected total WAR, in which case saying so would help chill out all these people upset about Ohtani being "too low."
