I Ranked Every FINEST Card in MLB The Show 21

[@bbj1451]

Koogs: “Emmanuel Clase is only a one inning pitcher so that makes him not an S tier.” Me: “He’s a closer...”

[@kinghenry481]

For me he pitched 3 innings and did pretty good only gave up two hits on hall of fame

[@n7firetruck848]

Yeah but there are guys who have better pitch mixes you can use for those final outs imo. Unless your opponent is butt cheeks at hitting fastballs

[@nfw187]

It depends how well you can mix pitches. Cutter,slider, and fastball can all be tunneled well

[@dvon1097]

Clase has no variety. He only throws hard and hes easy to hit

[@greenfroppy212]

Clase is pretty overrated in the game tbh. He has two fast pitches and one slow pitch.

[@JustAwesomee]

@@jacksoneubanks546 cbrev literally does tier lists for a living. He’s way more “qualified” than koogs in that aspect.

[@astros9954]

charlie morton deserves to be at least on A tier, his pitches move so much w/ the high H/9

[@alannewcomb4840]

Highly recommend taking another look at Goldschmidt, Franmil and Schwindel. Goldy is literally a reverse Freddie Freeman. Freddie is A tier and could even borderline S, so no way Goldy borderlines B and C. Franmil has insane hitting and an amazing swing. Defense is rough so I understand having him below A, but no way that hitting is a C tier. Schwindel: you made the comment he’s on the same level as JD or Mountcastle but Schwindel has almost max hitting vs lefties as well as max contact vs. righties. He is head and shoulders above JD and Mountcastle. Defense at 1B is irrelevant as you alluded to, those hitting numbers could be A tier, definitely not lower than B. Great video!

[@jblack5728]

For me Frank is S tier. For some reason I do better with him than 99 Babe and 99 Puljos

[@aronespinoza5678]

What about finest posey?

[@jpteix]

Polanco and Candelario are severely underrated. Their swings are *ELITE*

[@DomoCuervoh]

I was about to say!! Candelario is freaking elite and plays way above his stats. Dude is hitting like .600 for me and I’m trash lol

[@reillyholmes1962]

[@JamesInturrisi]

Can we honestly talk about why wheeler has outlier but cole doesn't

[@connorsalvatori1721]

fr they need to stop giving outlier to people who don’t throw 100

[@daltonhuling7714]

Yeah cole got fleeced but he still wouldn't be that good tbh

[@JesseCatalina]

I agree with Dalton that Cole still wouldn’t be that good, but he does throw 100 regularly so I’m not sure why he didn’t get outlier when many pitchers that don’t even throw 100 get it lol.

[@daltonhuling7714]

@@JesseCatalina exactly what I think

[@lambchop2x624]

You should have looked at all their active quirks that’s the main thing that separates a lot of these cards. Aaron Loup is 100% the best finest reliever and is forsure S tier there is a reason everyone was using them in the tournament/grand finals.

[@JesseCatalina]

I pretty much agree with everything you said. The only thing I would change is Marte to me is for sure S tier with everything he brings to the table.

[@yankee2858]

Candelario’s swing is elite

[@craigmattson9269]

That Polanco disrespect is real. The fact he is primary 2B made his value monster, whereas his Topps now is SS so you take a hit sliding him over. Plus his speed and fielding got bumps. Koogs cmon brother

[@troyvelie7488]

Yea I love the card too, 2B is probably the thinnest position this year too.

[@westonangermeier3161]

For me, Brandon Nimmo is Baby Ruth. He just seems to hit everything over the wall, in my PERSONAL tier list he's easy S tier.

[@patrickc7546]

I know I’m a Yankees fan, but you should really try Gerrit Cole. I’m ranked around 800 and in my first game I had 5 perfect innings against a guy ranked at 820ish and he rage quit after 6, you should really give him a try. That sinker is solid and if you use it enough they’ll second-guess the four seam and be late on it, and obv his slider is pretty nice

[@willberger3873]
