The 7 Levels of MLB Player

The 7 Levels of MLB Player

Ever wondered what separates a Triple-A journeyman from a Hall of Fame legend? We're breaking down MLB's player hierarchy in the most brutally honest way possible!

From organizational filler like Andrew Velazquez living in perpetual limbo between the minors and meaningless September call-ups, to failed prospects like Mark Prior whose glass arm shattered Cubs fans' dreams. We'll explore Swiss Army knife utility players like Ben Zobrist who somehow parlayed playing every position except catcher into World Series MVP honors, and roast reliable workhorses who anchor lineups without anyone remembering their names.

What you'll discover:

How Montero managed to lose a trade involving a Cy Young winner, why fans can't buy Chris Taylor jerseys because nobody knows what number he'll wear next season, and how Mookie Betts was so good the Red Sox had to trade him just to avoid paying him. We'll examine why some All-Stars crumble under pressure while Hall of Fame legends like Derek Jeter made clutch performance and gift baskets equally legendary.
From Randy Johnson being simultaneously the most dominant and terrifying pitcher in history, to transcendent icons like Babe Ruth becoming baseball's first trash-talker while being its greatest player—we're covering the eternal debates about salary expectations, and why modern players are more athletic but somehow less memorable.

This video reveals how natural talent only gets you to the majors, but everything after depends on consistency, clutch performance, and staying healthy long enough to build a legacy. Sometimes the difference between levels isn't what you accomplished, but whether you're remembered for what you did or what you could have done. Because potential is just expensive disappointment waiting to happen.

Think your favorite player doesn't belong in their tier?
