MLB Network is counting down its Top 100 Players Right Now across the coming week, having tasked its production and research team with ranking the very best players in Major League Baseball. The formula used for this list differs from the Shredder, which was used to determine MLB Network’s rankings for the top 10 players at each position.
Let’s not keep you waiting any longer. Here are MLB Network’s Top 100 players for 2021, counting backwards until we get to No. 1.
(Note: Tune in to MLB Network at 7 p.m. ET on Feb. 10-11 and Feb. 16-18 to see the rest of the names revealed.)
Within Nos. 81-90 sits a pair of Reds starters in Luis Castillo and Sonny Gray, who would have ranked as the ace of nearly any other staff last year, had they not pitched alongside National League Cy Young Award winner Trevor Bauer. Castillo’s and Gray’s names have both surfaced in trade rumors this winter, as has Cubs stalwart catcher Willson Contreras, who has put up an above-average hitting line (by OPS+) in all but one of his big league seasons. And Lourdes Gurriel Jr. might be spurring some calls to Toronto’s front office, now that George Springer’s signing has given the Blue Jays a crowded outfield (a good problem to have).
The final 10 spots this year are packed with potential. Byron Buxton and Giancarlo Stanton have shown how they can single-handedly swing a ballgame -- if only they can remain healthy enough to do so. Randy Arozarena went from relative unknown to household name thanks to a postseason for the ages, and he carries big expectations into this year. And there are the top two finishers in last year’s AL Rookie of the Year Award vote, Kyle Lewis and Luis Robert, who could jockey for bragging rights for years to come.
