I have decided that I probably should've put Seager into the HoF category, but it's too late to change that now!

Jorge Solar getting a “meh” is a crime. Bros a World Series MVP come on now

Imo, you can’t say Tyler Glasnow is a meh because he can’t stay on the field and then turn around and say Byron Buxton is a hit when he also hasn’t stayed on the field

Albert Almora Jr tagging up from first in game 7 of the World Series is an often overlooked part of that Cubs win, couldn’t have done it without him, and he’ll forever be remembered in Chicago

Jorge Soler's 48-homer season is always gonna be the stuff of legends in KC!

Soler a meh and JBJ a hit? Soler is an all star, WS MVP, and has a 48 home run szn under his belt lol smh

Actually mad props for the Yordano Ventura description. Wish he could have blossomed

12:50 All of a sudden, I have so much respect for Kyle Crick.

Syndergaard’s regression is so sad, that man SHOVED in a way that was so dominant and overpowering.

I completely forgot about Addison Russell. He was so good on that championship cubs team his decline was so rapid and surprising. But it is hard to not call Javy Baez a meh. He was always a streaky hitter and that dropoff was HARD. It was always surprising the Tigers gave him so much money.

It seems everybody on this list has been on the cubs before😂

Meh for soler is kinda crazy it’s not like he was a top ten prospect he was 49 and he lived up to the slugger role he was supposed to be. Still tho love the content

4:40 giving up a homer to Jeff Mathias is absolutely brutal that sucks

man as a royals fan Ventura still hurts when brought up so tragic

I was at Singleton's return to Houston. They put a note in the bottom right of the scoreboard showing how long it had been sonce a home run, and congratulating him. With Jose Abreu not performing like Jose Abreu. Jon Singleton has his chance and so far us doing excellent. At home, he's batting exactly 300. With 6 hits in 20 plate appearances. Half of those hits have been fir a home run. Im so happy to see more Homerton bat flips.

Regardless Soler is an everyday starter so I'd call that a success regardless of how good he is. A majority of players signed don't even touch the MLB.

I remember that Almora clip, that alone makes the case for the safety nets along the foul lines now. I think the safety they add far outweighs any detraction that comes from catching less foul balls.

put some respect on Mark Appel. Dude battled hard to get his stuff on track, and then quit baseball because he never thought he’d make it. Went to philly, found his love for the game, and made it to the show. Didn’t have the career he wanted, but at least he made it where he thought he wouldn’t.

Gausman's time in baltimore is around the same time Arrieta went to the Cubs and turned into God himself. The Orioles just didnt know how to make good pitchers at the time. The best pitcher they could produce in that time was Chris Tillman and granted Tillman had some really solid seasons including 1 sub 3, no one feared him.

We can still trade Clint Frazier and Miguel Andujar for David Bednar and Ke’Bryn Hayes

"I found out I'm still paying for a car sharing service that I haven't used since my freshman year of college" says the guy who looks like a high school junior. J/k mate, awesome vid!

big ups kid, much love

The fact that a man got suspended for 100 games for pot and a guy beat his wife and they suspended him for 40 is crazy

Absolutely amazing video one of the most entertaining baseball videos I’ve seen in a while

Love the video!! I respect your opinion but have to heavily disagree on Glasnow. I understand eating innings is huge, but I also believe there’s something to be said about what he does when he is healthy, and what he does is get people out. Definitely love videos like this and would love to see more!

Really appreciate this video. I have a habit of looking up past prospect rankings, and seeing how they turned out when I have nothing better to do😂

Mondesi was an absolute menace in MLB The Show!!!

Glasnow as a meh is criminal. I dont like the guy but he’s on of the best pitchers in the league regardless of injuries

Please please do more of these! Great work!

17:26 Franco was my favorite philly as a kid that’s how bad it got

I’m not even going to lie, I was SHOCKED to see it wasn’t Baez on that OPS list. I was already telling my friends it was going to be him 😂😂😂

Idk if you can call a guy that had an ERA+ of 140 from 2015-2018 a bust. Like I get it, he was drafted as a starter and didn't really pan out, and his career had a steep decline, but I would argue the Cubs got more than enough out of him during that 2015-2018 stretch. Obviously taking a whole career into account, maybe I agree with you, but if we're judging him strictly as a reliever and from what the Cubs got out of him, I believe they would say they hit on Carl Edwards Jr. From 2017-2018 alone he had an ERA+ of 153, with 118.1 innings combined over the two seasons. Great video and definitely enjoy the content, we may just have different criteria for what a bust is. You don't necessarily need to have extreme career longevity, especially for relievers, I believe a 3-4 year stretch of great pitching is more than enough to say he was at least meh.

Joc had tons of potential. 30/30 guy in AAA and was an overall elite athlete (WR1 over Davante Adams in HS!). Unfortunately he found out he loves food a little too much which is why he’s now a RHP only DH.

I don't hit the like button on many videos. You earned the click for this one. (Watched this at work and rewatching at home on my account)

Lindor getting the HOF badge over everyone else is crazy. I’ll take Seager, and Xander over him for the hall. Both have won it all, Cory being a two time WSMVP. Xander is always in contention for a SS and batting title. Lindor is great, but without the accolades he’s not sniffing the hall imo. Especially since the Mets won’t do anything after October for a few more years.

Mets fans wouldn't call d'Arnoud a bust, because we've seen him way too much as a Brave. (Though he was a bust probably in his Mets tenure)

Soler hit 48 HR in 2019 and won a World Series MVP for the Braves in 2021, neither of which were mentioned…wtf?

Hearing that indigo plateau in the background makes me wanna play soulsilver again 🔥

Love this channel

I remember watching Lindor in Triple A. I thought he was one of the best players Ive ever seen in the minors. Him and Desmond Jennings were monsters in the Minors. Glad to see Lindor has kept his level of play at the majors

appreciate you going into the stories of these guys and not just calling them "busts"

"Since joining the Tigers, has cut down on strikeouts." I must be hallucinating baseball, because Baez strikes out so much he'd strike out on an int walk if int walks still required pitch outs. The dude swings and misses at pitches that are literally in the opposite batter's box. There's no reason to even throw him a strike.

Please make more of these!

The Pokémon music in the back is soo damn nostalgic

Great video, I think the grading system presents an interesting question on which kind of careers you would take from a prospect. The Blue Jays would probably take the career of Aaron Sanchez, who was a very good starter for them during their contending years in 15-16 over someone like Heaney who has made a longer career but hasn't had Sanchez's peaks. Both are "Mehs" though

You know, this is some good quality content.

Babe wake up new ‘And That’s Baseball’ just dropped. And almost 40 minutes? Chills

22:38 Man I did not want to remember this

great video

If Billy Hamilton played the Pirates every game, he'd be a first ballot HOFer. Dude was a menace against Pittsburgh

Bros needs to do more of these

Just a day late with Holliday making the O’s LOL

“Despite having 4, the Pirates had 0 hits.” Says it all about that organization. Either their player development system/major league coaching staff screws up the players or their prospects are all hype and no substance. It’s so much FUN being a Pirates fan the last 32 years…

Shouldn't even really be a meh category. A lot of these meh guys are consistent MLB players who are still doing it, and that alone is a huge hit when it comes to any prospect. Thats all you can hope for.

6:33 I've always felt bad for Carl Edwards Jr since he was pulled from the mound in the 10th inning of Game 7 - he had the opportunity to be immortalized by throwing the last pitch of the Cubs' worlds series. Good to see he had some metrics of success, though

Man... I will never forget that slow grounder to Bryant to finish that World Series. still crazy how much he has dropped off. (but you can say that about that entire 2016 team except Schwarber and Rizzo

Re: Gregory Polanco, that .762 OPS doesn't sound "pretty successful" from the jump but NPB's ball has been dead since around 2021. Polanco's 26 HR in 2023 were tied with Kensuke Kondoh and Hideto Asamura for most in the Pacific League, and he did it in 125 games, 18 fewer than either of his competition.

As a person from 2024 Jon singleton is definitely hall of fame level

Great video! Love this kind of content

Anyone realize how many pitchers came up with the pirates in the mid 2010s and were mid then went somewhere else and became amazing

Feel like the ratings could be adjusted a bit. Maybe something like All-Star > Regular > Backup > Bust

Early in the video, but is the blurred out name in Jackie Bradley Jr’s segment also in the list? Edit: I see what you did now, also OPS+ under 50 is worse than some seasons Neifi Perez had I think.

Singleton's return is facilitated by Abreu's own FA bust in Houston.

the mario super sluggers music is throwing me off 😂😂😂 love it tho

Dude put Lindor over Seager for a few games a season. LOL! Seager has 2 WS MVPs.

watching Allen Wevsters first start as a 14 year old sox fan in 2013 was a core memory

What you said about Glasgow makes sense but he should still be considered a hit, doesn’t have to be high on the list of hits, but a hit

Please do more of these

The GTAV intro song bumping at 11:28 sent a shot of nostalgia right into my veins

No way Austin Hedges is a bust! One of the best defensive catchers in baseball for a decade. That’s what’s made him a good prospect, that’s what’s made him a good ballplayer.

It’s a completely different world than 2014 as far as prospect go. Everything prospects is different. How good the actual prospects are, the rankings, the amount of rankings and people involved(prospects is big business now). How important prospects are to a franchise is even different and they are more coveted and thought of more highly(smaller market teams spend more of development than payroll now). And as early as 2019 everything has changed as far as the quality of the prospects. Ever since the pandemic the quality of the baseball athlete has completely changed. Look at College Baseball and the Prep players now. It has never been this talent laden(especially the pitching). And like I said, it all changed during the pandemic. Athletes(at least in baseball) all got their sh*t together and found all those outside baseball physicality where they are getting stronger, faster and smarter(with all the data). And in turn everything has changed as far as the quality of prospects. And like I said, prospects is also big business now too(baseball is catching on with the Spring breakout game). The NFL draft has already been big business for the NFL for years and now MLB is catching on. The amount of people involved in prospects now compared to 2014 is substantial. And that’s not even mentioning Fantasy and Dynasty baseball. Everything has changed!!

Unimportant info: Carl Edwards was CJ Edwards as a Texas Rangers prospect, he was traded in a package for Matt Garza.

I'm a Yankees fan that is still a big Gary Sanchez fan AND thought Frazier got a bit of a raw deal from the team and press

So you’re just not going to talk about Syndergaard’s hitting prowess

Here in STL we expect the best 💯 I can tell he was nervous because he was terrible today!BUT it’s a long season and I still got faith in my Cards.

Mark Appel should have signed with the Pirates when they drafted him the year before. Back then they had the staff that would have helped fix his issues

It’s unfair to not mention all the terrible injuries Polanco suffered. He had a cannon for an arm and then had a bunch of shoulder injuries and just couldn’t throw anymore

as a Red Sox fan, happy to see jbj getting some recognition. Always fun to watch Edit: It's such a shame the Sox traded bogie. The devers/bogarts infield was great

Its so frustrating how a player can commit abuse and only receive a 40 game suspension but weed gets you 50-100 games. Weed shouldn't get you suspended at all, but it certainly should be less of a suspension than abuse. Shows how little leagues care about domestic violence and abuse

Definitely a Mets fan!

Every time I hear David Wise's music in a video I go on a tear listening to DKC music. Not mad about it though.

29:00 This man really was the one who jinxed Lindor

please do another video like this it so good

ventura will always be my favorite baseball player and pitcher. RIP ace

Hedges defense has to make him a "meh" imo. Elite catcher defense is so valuable!

I think instead if the 'hit, miss, or meh' system, should have possibly just ranked each player from a 1-10. 4-7 could have been considered meh. If Soler falls into the meh category he'd be a high meh, 7 out of 10 im thinking.

Not putting Seager in HOF but putting Lindor just proves how underrated he is

Love Albert almora that broke my heart all over

Dylan Bundy is absolutely a bust. He’s an unfortunate bust, but he’s one of the players I think about first when I think about busts in MLB. Dude had so much hype and never did anything

6:35 His dad use to race in NASCAR. Pretty cool.

Damn dawg, played against almora in hs a lot, that sucks to see.

Archie Bradley also gets alot of points from me for his, um, honesty...

You know Alan Webster was bad when his segment ends on a Jeff Mathis Homerun. As amazing as mathis was, he was significantly better behind the dish than with a bat. Ok thats understatement. God tier Catcher, Bartolo Colon Level hitting.

I think Polanco at a Bust is wild. But I have Pirates Bias.

Some of these guys shouldn't have been prospects, the low fastball guys just seem like the bust rate will be so high. Catchers are insanely volatile and injuries suck. Those are the lessons I learned.

16:32 Sounds like Glasnow has a glass arm. I'll see myself out.

Lindors defense declining is crazy other than that good list

Getting suspended for smoking weed is such bullshit You’re allowed to drink but can’t sit back and enjoy a doobie? Wild as fuck to me

Calling Austin Hedges a bust is just flat wrong. You have to completely ignore his skills behind the dish to come to that conclusion.

what's the music at 34:33 ?
