According to Arby’s reference, at least 17% of people that attend Arby’s on a weekly basis are completely convinced that they would be good enough to play in the major leagues.

[@StarkRavingSports]

which of those people has the worst in Arby’s history?

[@RetroBaseball]

@@StarkRavingSports Definitely Arby’s McGillicuddy, Who is convinced they would be good enough to win the World Series blindfolded while ordering a weekly intake of Arby’s roast beef.

[@djbongwater]

@@RetroBaseball I just checked arbys ref myself and honestly Arby's McGillicutty isn't as bad as youre making him out to be-- he had several seasons with above average WBC+ (weighted beef created) and led the league in RBE/9 (roast beef eaten per 9 innings) one year!! Give him some credit man

The ending made me think of Brian Scalabrine. The dude looked pretty goofy and he was not a great NBA player, but people forget that he actually got to the NBA for a reason. There are multiple videos of college and high school players that think they're hot shit playing 40+ year old retired Scalabrine 1 on 1 and getting absolutely destroyed. People really don't understand how good you have to be to even be a "bad" professional athlete.

[@Haplessrabit]

Brian Scalabrine is one of my favourite examples of what makes professional sports special. Someone who is considered to be one of the worst to play the game professionally still is top 1-2% easily.

[@michaelstein7510]

@@Haplessrabit I love Scal. But yeah, even the guys that ride the bench in the NBA are among the 500 best basketball players on the planet. You have to have ridiculous talent and/or work ethic to make it out of the millions that play the game.

[@ezridaxsgender3914]

True although back 100 years ago in baseball this was way less true bc sports just weren't professionalized.

[@jdredwine7224]

I watched a video the lowest rated FIFA player. This channel tested his skills. He was putting the ball where it needed to go pretty consistently. He was still really good. Are there people out there that are good enough or were unfortunate with injuries or living in any area with no scouting in some cases? Yes. I seen hundreds of them. But to play pro at a high level, people don't understand how good the worst still is.

[@BaseballAF]

What a wholesome message at the end. Respect to Bill Bergen

[@zikalokof1challenge414]

Also, Bill Bergen's stats hitting wise dont tell the whole story. He played in the dead-ball era, so his stats arent that awful considering the league average in 1908 was .239. He was an incredible defensive player, with such a good value that we could compare him defensively to the likes of Molina and Salvador Perez, as stated in the video. Also, as a little trivia, his brother Marty Bergen was an all-star caliber catcher who could both hit and play the field well. I could imagine him being in the HOF if he wasnt... A little crazy.... Yeah I can put it in that way

[@user-tr6sz4pf8e]

OH I CALLED IT!!

[@benjiequezada]

I think my favorite example of how even a “bad” professional athlete is really good comes from the NBA: Brian Scalabrine. He played in the NBA for 11 seasons and was always at or near the bottom of the league statistically (his best season he averaged only 6.3 ppg, 4.5 reb, and 1.6 ast). After he retired, he actually hosted a show where he played one on one against shit talkers and absolutely destroyed them all. One of his best quotes was something like, “I am closer to LeBron than you are to me.” Even bad professional athletes were good enough to make the league and are significantly better than the average person.

[@RealBlueony]

This was a good video, with a good message at the end, but I can't help but feel you left out one player who may have in fact been the worst player in MLB history (even over noodle-bat Bill Bergen): Jim Levey. Jim Levey was a player who played primarily from 1931 to 1933, with a cup of coffee in 1930, for the infamous St Louis Browns. The St Louis Browns were the worst team in the league by a longshot. From 1902-1954, the time they existed in St Louis before moving to Baltimore to become the Orioles, they had an all time winning percentage of .433. For reference, the Washington Senators from 1901-1960 (who became the Twins), who's tagline "First in War, First in peace, and Last in the American League" is one of those things that has kinda become a thing of legend, but at least they had a good year now and then and actually won a WS, in 1924. Their winning percentage in Washington was .465, miles better than St Louis's .433. This isn't to say that the Browns didn't have some good years, but they never won a WS, and only made it once, in the war year of 1944. They lost to the Cardinals in 6 (yes, to their fellow St Louisians). I say all this to say that Jim Levey wasn't kept around because of his ability or promise (although he did somehow get MVP votes in 1932), but because the Browns had no one better. Now, his stats? Ghastly. Not as bad at hitting as Bill Bergen, but still... Let's have a look. 1931: OPS +: 42 WRC +: 40 B-R WAR: -2.7 F WAR: -3.3 So 1931 was already one of the worst years ever, and he was a rookie. Let's look at 1932. 1932: OPS +: 75 WRC +: 71 B-R WAR: -0.5 F WAR: -0.8 Keep in mind, this was his GOOD year, and he somehow got a couple MVP votes. Sportswriters of the 30s folks. 1933: OPS +: 24 WRC +: 23 B-R WAR: -4.0 (!!!) F WAR: -4.0 (!!!) This might be the worst year in baseball history. Not only was his offense Bergen-like, but his defense was atrocious. Yes, you could say that about the rest of his career, but his offense was at its worst this year. He was actually worth 0.1 defensive WAR this year specifically, but that was only because he was a shortstop and gets 9 runs from that; he lost 8 of them from fielding. I call that a bad fielder. His cumulative WAR from this year is the worst I have found from a position player in one year on B-R, and while I don't use Fangraphs as much, I'm sure its high there. Also, Jim Levey has the lowest WAR I've ever found on B-R in a career; although Bill Bergen beats him out on Fangraphs, but at least he stuck around a LONG time and had a really good skill in defense. So Jim Levey was a TERRIBLE baseball player at the MLB level. But you wanna know something funny? He actually played in the NFL too, and while not great there, in 1935 scored 4 TDs rushing and receiving, good for 5th in the league, which really does go back to your final point: everyone has value, to something, or someone. He was certainly, at least by that statistic, a valuable to a point NFL player, and obviously had a family. So hats off to Jim Levey, my pick for the worst MLB player ever!

Really enjoyed this video. I always feel weird when someone says a pro sports player "sucks" because, yes, relative to the other pro sports players, they may be bad, but relative to the billions of people that haven't played pro sports, they were pretty damn good.

[@big8dog887]

Some time back, I read an article similar to this video that came to the conclusion that the worst player ever was a fellow with the apt name of Tony Suck. Mr. Suck didn't play as long as any of the guys mentioned here, but he did live up to his name.

[@DaDitka]

The last two to three minutes or so of your commentary is absolutely outstanding. You are spot on when you say that you have to be really good in order to be really bad at something. Thank you.

[@eauhomme]

Talking about how good you have to be to even make the majors reminds me of what Matt Antonelli said. Antonelli was a first rounder whose baseball career was derailed by injuries but who managed to spend a couple call-ups in the bigs. He now does a series of Q&A videos on KZbin on what it is like to be a professional player (what the living conditions are in the majors vs. the minors, what it's like to be traded or released, how you live on minor league pay, etc.). One question he is often asked is where the best college teams would fit against the minor leagues, with the person asking suggesting that they might be equal to a strong AA or even AAA team. He said that they wouldn't even cut it in A ball. Your best college teams have a few stars who make it into the pros, and even into the majors. But the majority of players in even the best teams will not play an inning of pro ball. They aren't good enough for the scouts to give them even a cursory glance. Meanwhile, the worst team in A ball is made up entirely of players who the scouts noticed and considered to be good enough to play at the pros. One or two may be good enough for the majors, just as one or two on a top Division 1 college team should be. The college team probably has even better players at the top than the pro team. But the other guys on the pro team will be far better than the other guys on the college team, and that's why the pro team will be better. So like Brian Scalabrine, mentioned by multiple people here as an NBA scrub who shows that he can wipe the walls with local basketball players, your minor league guys are generally quite a bit better than your college players who never got the chance to play pro.

[@TigerofRobare]

My Dad once played softball against a guy who had pitched in the minors for a year or two but wasn't good enough to stick around. He said he started his motion and suddenly the ball was just in the catcher's mitt and the umpire was signalling strike one. Again, that was with a big green softball.

[@eduardopena5893]

I was a semi-pro baseball player at one point and a friend of mine needed some players for his fast pitch softball team. I'd never played but he figured since I was used to 90MPH+ fastballs I could hit a softball. So we're in a pre season game and I wasn't starting. I was just there to meet the team and all and get a feel for everything. It was the end of the game and the other team brings in their closer. He's warming up and he doesn't look like anything special. Without warning, the coach tells me to go in and pinch hit. My teammates are all cracking some smiles, and saying, "Go get 'em rook!" I step up to the plate. Dude fires a pitch I didn't even see, all I heard was a whooshing crackle, the snap of the glove behind me, and a "STTEEERIKE!" Second pitch, same thing. Third pitch I swung and managed to foul off. My team starts mockingly cheering for me. Next pitch I miss and strike out. I walk back to the bench and my coach is laughing his butt off, the team is laughing, too. After he catches his breath he goes, "I didn't expect you to touch this guy. He throws 103MPH. We were amazed you fouled that pitch off!" 103...from not 66 feet away, but 48!

[@fredaaron762]

Dan Meyer's problem with his defense was that he was an adequate first baseman, but didn't hit enough to justify putting him there especially when their were other, better hitters on his team who also played first. So they put him in left field and third base where he was an absolute disaster. Andres Thomas was expected to be an All Star shortstop when he was a prospect, but he made a ton of errors and didn't hit enough to compensate.

[@SamtheBravesFan]

I KNEW you'd talk about Bill Bergen. When I was looking to see how bad BJ Upton's season was some years ago, his name came up.

[@gtbowhunter9086]

No way you threw a hive mind clip in there! I love both of the channels

[@eduardopena5893]

While stats may not lie, they also need context. - back when Coleman was pitching, teams had 1 or 2 starting pitchers that pitched the entire game and almost every game of the season. There was no bullpen or relief pitcher. - while he holds records for hits given up, earned runs, etc., but some of his peripherals look halfway decent should clue you in. The man STARTED 65 games and had 59 COMPLETE GAMES in ONE SEASON. He tossed 581 innings that year! - in his rookie season his ERA was 4.87, but his FIP (fielding independent pitching) was 3.34. Over a run and a half better. You can further back this up by him allowing 291 earned runs, but the team behind him allowed 510 runs total. His team played some atrocious defense. - errors were ruled differently back then and a lot of errors would be ruled as hits by the rules back then.

[@tedmur]

I was so taken aback when you put that random HIVEMIND clip lmaooooo. Last thing I expected to see in this video was Riley xD

[@paultheaudaciousbradford6772]

Alan Travers! Lifetime ERA of 15.75. Replacement pitcher for the Detroit Tigers in 1912 while the team staged a wildcat strike in opposition to Ty Cobb’s suspension for fighting (beating up, really) an unruly and disabled fan. There’s no evidence that Travers, a Philadelphia resident, ever visited Detroit. Not good at anything, baseball-wise that is - holds the distinction of being the only MLB pitcher to be ordained as a Roman Catholic priest, and he had a creditable 30+ year career as a high school teacher. So, as bad as he was as a pitcher, he pulled his weight as a human being. Eddie Gaedel was probably the least physically qualified person to ever play, but he did have a lifetime OBP of 1.000 - which would be tough to beat.

[@crookmaster11]

Excellent video man, thanks for putting in the research

[@artvandelay1099]

Thought Ray Oyler might show up in this conversation. According to his Wikipedia page he holds the distinction as being the position player with the lowest career batting average in the modern era. (Minimum 1000 plate appearances) Being a Tigers fan, I always knew he was a crap hitter but a good fielder. Glancing over his stats, I see he's actually a career 0.0 WAR player. He was a shortstop, so, he must've been an amazing fielder.

[@tomshea8382]

He played in 146 games in 1967, started 125, and had a FP of .964 with a RTot of 17. Not great but not terrible. He's my default guy when I hear "worst player ever." But yes, Anthony Young proves the "have to be good to be bad" axiom; in between all those consecutive Ls, he saved a bunch of games and I don't think he was ever sent down. Plus we now acknowledge more easily that Ws are a terrible pitcher's stat.

[@homerunproductions162]

I like the lesson of the story, you don't get the opportunity to be terrible at something unless you bring something to the table. Like those pitchers who lose 20 games, the fact that they keep trotting you out there every 5th day to accomplish that is pretty remarkable.

[@apocrypha5363]

Was not ready for the depth of the ending. This should also be a stark reminder of how literally awesome Shohei Ohtani's 2021 was. The very best pitchers generally can't hit worth a poop and the very best hitters usually suck at pitching. But Shohei is stupidly good at both.

[@ravensn8]

was not expecting to be teared up by this video but man, thank you. that was an amazing video.

[@orangehoof]

Growing up in the '60s, the most notorious bad hitter was Ray Oyler. He was a good defensive shortstop with Detroit in the mid-60s but close to an automatic out at the plate. When the Tigers reached the 1968 World Series, Oyler was removed from the starting lineup in favor of Mickey Stanley, a fourth outfielder that could at least hit. Oyler was taken by Seattle in the 1969 expansion draft and finished his career with the Angels. In six seasons, he was .175/.258/.251/.508. On Baseball-Reference, Oyler's OWAR was -2.3 but his DWAR was 5.3, which was why he was able to play as long as he did.

[@buzzardf3818]

Came here for a lesson on baseball , Left here with a lesson on life dang man good video

[@daviddechamplain5718]

So since Bergen was a great catcher, does this mean that Andres Thomas was really the worst? I remember Thomas from my youth.

[@eduardopena5893]

I was going to say the same thing. There are A LOT of defensive specialist catchers, and Bergen was one of the better ones of his era. Every single season he was at least at, but most often times above league average for throwing runners out. His worst performance ever was 45% in his final season, and that was still at or better than the rest of the league. And that really means something because back then baseball was a small ball game. Stealing bases was a big part of the game.

[@TheJoeWerewolf]

[@Briansgate]

Good lord, a random Scott Steiner Math promo sighting.

[@nacoran]

It's rare to see anyone mention Pedro Guerrero these days. He was a monster hitter in his day. If you made any sort of mistake down in the strike zone you weren't getting that ball back.

[@NJGuy1973]

In 1982, when the Dodgers lost Garvey and Cey, they should have put Guerrero at first and traded Greg Brock for a defense-first third baseman.

[@andyreid7274]

Great message at the end. A lot of folks on social media should really think about that one.

[@eauhomme]

John Coleman was not that bad. He pitched over 500 innings in one year. Players didn't use gloves then, and all of them pitched underhand. And he pitched several years after 1883 and did OK. A much better example of the worst pitcher would be William Stecher. 0-10, 10.32 ERA in, you guessed it, 10 starts. 68 innings, 111 hits, 18 strikeouts, -2.9 WAR in his only MLB season, 1890. And for someone a little more recent, how about this season? 4-7, 10.64 ERA, 19 games, 13 starts, 67.2 innings, 107 hits, 42 walks. -2.8 WAR. Would you give him another chance after a season like that? The Blue Jays did. Good thing. He won his first Cy Young three years later. Hall of Famer Roy Halladay.

Not So Fun Fact: Bill Bergen’s brother, Marty, was also a big league catcher from 1897-1899. He was apparently so skilled behind the plate, that even though he only played 3 seasons, he received a few Hall of Fame votes. Hurting his case, however, was the fact that in the 1899-1900 offseason, he murdered his wife and children before turning the axe (yes, axe) on himself.

[@AlanWiltsie]

[@tugotiger]

My pitching coach was a pitcher in the steroid era, who pitched in the NL Central in 1998. He often is like yeah i had a bad career. he did have a negative career rWar and an 82 ERA+, but he also managed a 90 OPS+ across his career, he slashed .271/.364/.354 as a pitcher. thats why he stayed in the league for six years.

[@FlyingDwarfman]

The one potential saving grace for Bergen is that more advanced defensive metrics most definitely didn't exist in his day -- especially the very recently emerging catcher framing metrics. Were he a Jose Molina (#2 of the 3 Molina brother catchers)-level framer, he might have approached RLP value However, that could also be the thing that condemned him the most. Were he the Ryan Doumit of his day... well... maybe those people in Arby's would be correct about him.

I’ve always read that Jeff Mathis is the career worst hitter in baseball history with a specific number of games or at bats. His 17 year career finished with a career 0.2 WAR and .194 batting average over 2,718 at bats. He had a career -6.4 OWAR. But to the video author’s point of still having value to someone… Jeff Mathis also made $22 million dollars to be a terrible hitter but respectable catcher. He did have a 12.6 career DWAR.
