MLB Superstars Who SUCKED Before Breaking Out

[@FuzzyFromYT]

This was so much fun to make! One player I forgot to mention.. plays for the Dodgers.. any guesses? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@alexistoro2656]

Fuzzy Bellinger? Hernandez? I have no clue lol

Turner or Muncy

Kershaw

[@fabiangames5831]

Fuzzy you should make a video of people who started off their career amazing to going to the worst or not good

[@icommentsometimes]

Scherzer actually started his career with the diamondbacks

#DATBOI and they traded him for IAN KENNEDY

[@loganplaysthegeetar3514]

[@Sebadiah23]

The D’backs made a bad trade, very impatient, but that’s how prospects go- this video is bizarre.

[@gagetipton6817]

And won a cy young with the tigers... clearly was good

[@vogelbachenjoyer6545]

Yelich wasn’t even that bad he won a gold glove and a silver slugger

[@dakidiv8140]

Matthew Tentler that’s a terrible argument, that’s like saying Chris Sale sucked with the White Sox because he has played better in Boston.

[@Boof37]

Matthew Tentler the name of the video is players who sucked. I don’t recall Yelich ever even being below average in Miami

[@SD-ui2lx]

Da Kid IV it’s also like saying miggy sucked on the Marlins before joining the tigers

[@bubbyboi565]

Ya seriously, Yelich still hit over .280 every year with the Marlins

[@hypetrained]

@@bubbyboi565 It's not even the batting average. Trout is batting .280. It's the on base percentage. He had a 400 OBP in Miami, and has a .420 in Milwaukee. He's was already a disciplined hitter, but now he has more pop.

[@la_king31622]

I think Justin Turner and Max Muncy are good examples as well. Both started very poorly then as soon as the Dodgers got them, they blasted off and became great players

Eduardo Angulo I’m an a’s fan and I am not joking, I was so happy when he released him.

[@lil_big_yung]

So a gold glove and a silver slugger is average? Yelich was already a all star reserve caliber player before the Brewers, which is part of the reason why theey even traded for him in the first place. If he was average, then they wouldn't have given them all the prospects that they did, and mayne wouldn't even traded for him in the first place

yeah pretty average 🥱

Yelich’s talent was always there. When he was being trade from the marlins, as a Braves fan, I always knew he was good but hadn’t broke out yet. Then they said they wanted Acuna for him and I was like “nah” and thank god we didn’t trade him. Moral of the story is, Acuna> Yelich.

Scherzer actually started his career with the Diamondbacks, but didn't become a full-time starter until he was in Detroit

[@ms_cfb]

In what way was Yelich bad or even average? He was top 15 in WAR his last year in Miami, top 6 in WAR in 2016 when he finished top 20 in MVP voting, and he won a gold glove in 2014, and that's all at the age of 25 or younger. Not a good fit for this video. Javy Baez played 80 games in two call-up stints his first two years and all he's done is hit since he became an everyday guy in 16. His first full season, the Cubs win the World Series. Not really a coincidence. Another bad fit for this video. Jose Ramirez was 23 years old when he became the Indians' every day 3B in 2016 and was a top 20 MVP vote getter. He played a combined 165 games the previous 2 seasons. Like Javy and Yelich, he's another super young guy who put it together relatively quickly and is another really bad fit for this video. DJ LeMahieu has had one season as a full time starter in the majors that he's hit under .270 and has a career batting average of .301. Why is he here?

[@FuzzyFromYT]

I literally said his last seasons in Miami were good lol his first few were VERY average

[@ms_cfb]

@@FuzzyFromYT He barely played in 2013 and was a gold glover hitting well over a 110 OPS+ in 2014. His OPS+ in 2015 was 6 points lower than Arenado's, and Nolan hit 42 HR that year. His power numbers weren't there because he was playing in the death valley of Marlins Park, but his exit velos were barely lower than what he's at now. It was just a matter of getting out of Miami.

In 2009 Bautista worked with Jay's Manager Cito Gaston and Hitting Coach Gene Tenance where they removed his double toe tap that you see him do while with the Pirates. They changed it to a full and violent leg kick and if you look at September 2009 he was a monster and that month was the reason the Jays brought him back.

Yelich was only 21 as a rookie putting him 2-3 years ahead of the average rookie and yet he was able to produce a 16.9 WAR over his 5 years in Miami, receive a Silver Slugger + Gold glove award. He was heavily underrated and shadowed by other Miami prospects who came up at a similar time but he’s always been a B+ or better player.
