I love this series, but I wish we could see some highlights for each player that aren’t just home runs. Seeings some defensive plays, maybe a double or a stolen base in there, I feel like would show a more complete view of each player, especially those players who fill roles outside of just raw power hitting

I was just about to make the exact same comment when I saw yours posted first. One of my pet peeves about baseball highlights these days is that they're generally homer, homer, homer, strikeout, strikeout,. Theres more to the game than that. The selection of Tatis over Turner for the top spot was an interesting one. There was a game last season, when Turner was still with the Nats, where Tatis deeked him badly on the basepaths twice in the same game.

Nah man, I’m a die hard Braves fan but turner to me should be #1 I get tatis rakes 40+ homers, but the dude is a liability on defense right now, turner is ther complete package despite not showing up in the nlcs. And I personally think Swanson was a better shortstop then players like lindor this year. I mean seriously I feel like all players get ranked based off of past seasons but when you rank a Braves player unless it’s absolutely obvious he’s the better player then you rank inconsistently. It should be based of this season alone

[@matthewr23]

Bichette way too low, I’d move him up to 6 and slide everyone down. Also the difference between Tatis and Turner is not that slight, Tatis is on a completely different level.

[@Joe-gt5lw]

That’s debatable, turner is a great hitter for average and kind of broke out power wise last year whereas tatis is more of a power hitter but they do both have really good speed turner is just better in that too but tatis is a better defender in my opinion

[@RSUATRBXRAILFANNER2015]

There is no world where Bo is not at least Top 7, probably top 5. His glove is perfectly fine, the majority of his errors were with his arm, and he improved drastically in the 2nd half of the season. Right now, overall, he is probably better than Anderson, Lindor, Crawford, and very close to if not better than Story and Bogaerts. Also, having Wander at #6 with such a small sample size is a bit crazy. I have no doubt he will be Top 10, but people that have proved it a bit more so far should be higher on this list.

Trea turner is super underrated. Good to see him at #2

Dude you waaayyy undervalue the importance of defense at SS.

[@champbrandon837]

Showing Adames some love. You love to see it.

[@testingmyaudioaddiction3452]

As much as I dislike him as a human, I do believe Correa should be #1. There is no shortstop as naturally talented as he is, and it’s not even relatively close.

[@mattdamon5481]

1. Tatis 2. Correa 3. Turner 4. Seager 5. Franco

[@shawnmiller163]

Tatis got moved from shortstop because he wasn’t good at shortstop this past season.

[@mattdamon5481]

@@shawnmiller163 not true at all. Tatis got moved from SS because he suffered a traumatic shoulder injury and the only way for him to keep playing according to doctors was to limit his throwing as much as possible, which is why he was moved to RF…his defense at SS was actually slightly above league average this year. As Marc said in the video, his glove is spectacular- it’s his throwing that’s the problem with the errors…but yea, he certainly wasn’t moved away from SS because he played bad over there lol. It was because he had no choice bc of the injury he suffered.

what do you mean that gio isn't an above-average 3b defensively??

[@tonyhill5116]

No shortstop means more to the success of their team than Tim Anderson. Team leader, consistent, critical hitting (batting title), and personality that has been a massive boost in the community and baseball overall.

[@dancrew6721]

I really think you should be rating one ROSTER player for each team and then the free agents that would be in the list. Fans should be able to use this lists to proper judge the state of their team as it currently stands.

[@SorokingProd30]

I think the Angels also have Andrew Velazquez and Tyler wade was more of a speed guy as a pinch runner and the last game of the season makes Tyler the “base runner of the game”

[@rileymendoza5367]

I think your choices pretty good but I wouldn’t put tatis first I would put him down more trea turner is the best and Xander second, and I’m a giants fan picking dodger first

[@e-roc9129]

Number 9 Tim Anderson compared to number 11 Bo Bichette ....you said Tim hadn't put together a full season of great numbers (like Bo) . Very confused with your rankings

[@Kevin-os2jh]

This is really really bad. Putting a guy who played like 80 games over a stud like Bo.

Didn't expect to see Edmundo Sosa over Paul DeJong, but I definitely do not mind at all, Sosa was really solid this year, while DeJong was pretty much the opposite

Good list Marc. Your videos r great. One thing: bo bichette should definitely be ahead of Tim Anderson and lindor probably should too. Hot take: Mariners and astros both have 90 plus wins and astros re-sign correa and Jeremy Pena is a bench bat

Urshela coming off a very unappreciated year. He flew under the radar, but really put up a solid season with good defense. I understand how everybody on the list can be hard to rank, but I’d put Gio a little higher.

Im sorry but people really overvalue franco compared to other rookies, like how the guy played half a season, and it wasnt like insane offensive production, good but nothing that makes me put him over story, tim andersen, bichette, lindor, can we settle down on him a bit

[@matthewbonilla6575]

That astros Jersey 👌🏼

[@christianfranco3502]

The top shortstops besides correa all have below or average fielding, in my eyes the best shortstops should also be best defensive players considering its one of the most important positions inn baseball. Yes offense is nice but I dont agree with this ranking. I'm a Giants fan and I think that Correa should be at one crawford should be at 4, certainly over seager who is shaky with the glove.

[@youcantcme2]

Tim Anderson and Story above Lindor and Bichette is just...funny. Lol.
