It takes a lot to win a World Series, and one of the most important factors in winning a championship comes from some unexpected places. To win a championship in MLB you have to have star power, players staying healthy, lucky breaks, and even more go your way. But one of the most important is getting an incredible run from a player you'd never expect, because getting high level play from an undervalued player can be the difference between missing the playoffs, and winning it all. In this video we'll look at the most recent incredible runs from undervalued players that played a major part in their team winning the World Series. We'll look at all the World Series winners since 2018, and the role players that helped win their team a championship.

Not a single Rangers fan was confident in Chapman. Cardiac Chapman was amazing for a few weeks and then lost all command. He couldn’t be used 2 days in a row else he’d fall apart on day 2. Sborz’s ERA was overly inflated due to the 2 times he spent recovering from an injury on the mound getting his stuff back. Playoff Sborz is what he was before he got injured the first time and after he got fully healed from his injury the second time.

I would have to agree with this. Everyone puts the blame on the Astros, but nobody ever talks about the Red Sox. (Plus the confirmed use of illegal substances. There was so much pine tar on them that the adhesive would practically attract objects to their hands.)

@rich7787 Ай бұрын

That was ridiculous. Alex Cora took that system from the Astros to the Sox and the Sox never get the comments the Astros do.

Neat video. You did a good job highlighting Dane Dunning and Josh Sborz and their important roles in the Rangers' playoff run, but how about Evan Carter who made the jump to the Majors in September after only eight games in AAA Round Rock, then put up a .300/.417/.500 post-season slashline with a record nine doubles while playing in every game and putting up sparkling defense? Or Travis Jankowski who was forced into the lineup in the World Series after Adolis Garcia went down with an injury and slashed .286/.375/.429 while contributing a key RBI double as he put up a 2.3% cWPA in just three games?

In 2016 Cleveland had Roberto Perez and Rajai Davis, they had a combined 15 homers that year. Perez hit 4 in the playoffs and Rajai took a fastball down and away from Aroldis Chapman deep as he choked up on the bat. Without a rain delay I think that game ends differently and they get added to role player glory

This is why the Astros are arguably one of the best teams in recent memory because they find the perfect balance of star power and role players

Marwin Gonzalez was the most versatile player I’ve ever seen. Hes a testament to the fact that if you can hit then the organization will find a way to keep you in the lineup.

This video can go back even further David Freese. Jackie Bradly Jr. I think you missed Jackie Bradly Jr on the Redsox too. Their worst hitter by far but when the lights were the brightest you could not get him out. Wish you would have went back further but this trend is definitely there. Even the 2017 Stros had a game winning WS hit from A. Bregman who was a rookie who stepped up in the 9th. Also Charlie Morten and Brad Freaking Peacock being completely lights out for that WS win. I’m gonna go order a mobaglobe now….

O's have their fair share of role players and unsung heroes step up this season. Ramon Urias has a gold glove and plays good defense at third base. Jorge Mateo creates havoc on the bases and is electric when he can just be a league-average hitter. Austin Hays and Heston Kjerstad have had some big games lately despite not getting regular playing time in the outfield. Their backup catcher James McCann is serviceable enough while allowing Adley to stay in the lineup as a DH. Ryan O'Hearn revived his career to become a borderline All-Star by mashing lefties. And Albert Suarez has been perhaps the most impactful, pitching a lot of important innings with their rotation losing 3 guys to Tommy John. If the O's win it all in 2024, then it will be due to their depth on their 40-man roster with a lot of help from the lesser-known guys.
