Rank | Name | Lg | Team | Pos | Comments | Rating | Status |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Marcus Semien | A | TEX | 2B | Led league in PA last three full seasons. HR% back to career norm. Speed and batted ball data like good. Very consistent after May. | 3 | |
2 | Andres Gimenez | A | CLE | 2B | Complete breakout, buried in lineup for most of year. Huge SB potential if he's promoted. | 3 | |
3 | Tommy Edman | N | STL | 2B | Hit ball harder at slight expense of K%. Slight decline in speed. Finished season leadoff but was up and down. | 3 | |
4 | Jazz Chisholm | N | MIA | 2B | Nearly doubled K%, huge increase in pull rate. Clear 30/30 if healthy. | 4 | S |
5 | Jose Altuve | A | HOU | 2B | Big FB% increase from 2021 stayed, BB% career high. EV decline is concerning. Speed steady, but success rate is fluky. | 2 | |
6 | Gleyber Torres | A | NYY | 2B | Complete rebound. Best batted ball data of career by far. Struggled with wrist in second half but had great September. | 4 | |
7 | Ozzie Albies | N | ATL | 2B | Rates look fine, sprint speed plunged (foot). Fluky injuries. | 3 | |
8 | Jorge Polanco | A | MIN | 2B | EV held but slight K% spike. Extreme LA. Missed time with knee, did nothing in second half. Easy rebound. | 4 | |
9 | Vaughn Grissom | N | ATL | 2B | EV wasn't great, slowed in September. Most pedestrial 15/15 for now. | 3 | |
10 | Luis Arraez | N | MIA | 2B | 7% K, primarily leadoff. | 3 | |
11 | Jeff McNeil | N | NYM | 2B | Complete rebound, improved to 10% K. Clearly elite BA, batting order spot not favorable. | 3 | |
12 | Whit Merrifield | A | TOR | 2B | Woke up in TOR but didn't run. Still has speed, and batted ball data looks okay. Hit at bottom of order. | 3 | |
13 | Jean Segura | N | MIA | 2B | K% up slightly, mostly steady. Speed down b2b years. Not bullish on him. Sprint speed down last two years. Slight decline. | 3 | |
14 | Bryson Stott | N | PHI | 2B | Solid second half. Elite speed. Still has 20/20 upside, but buried in batting order. | 4 | |
15 | Ketel Marte | N | ARI | 2B | K% gone way up again. Batted ball data and LA look good. Played through hamstring. | 4 | |
16 | Josh Rojas | N | ARI | 2B | SB despite declining speed. Cut K%. | 3 | |
17 | Luis Garcia | N | WSN | 2B | Didn't hit LHP, inconsistent but great at AAA. Strong BA and power upside. | 4 | |
18 | Thairo Estrada | N | SFG | 2B | EV wasn't good, probably reached his ceiling. | 2 | |

20 | Gavin Lux | N | LAD | 2B | Really bad in September after returning from injury. LA well down, but milb shows more power. | 3 | |
21 | Brendan Rodgers | N | COL | 2B | 17% K, LA is bad. Mainly hit LHP. Power has never been elite. | 3 | |
22 | Kolten Wong | A | SEA | 2B | K% is rising with LA. Stole bases despite crashing speed. | 2 | |
23 | Adam Frazier | A | BAL | 2B | No big changes from 2021, ability is in between. | 3 | |
24 | Jonathan India | N | CIN | 2B | Chronic injuries, EV was brutal. Respectable in second half and still hitting near top of order. | 3 | |
25 | Brendan Donovan | N | STL | 2B | Milb performance held up, but limited upside. | 3 | |
26 | Jake Cronenworth | N | SDP | 2B | K% up, EV declining. Favorable lineup spots unlikely to continue. | 2 | |
27 | Santiago Espinal | A | TOR | 2B | Has more BA potential, EV was mediocre. | 3 | |
28 | Max Muncy | N | LAD | 2B | Terrible start after torn elbow ligament, .791 OPS in second half. Very good over last two months. | 4 | |
29 | Christian Arroyo | A | BOS | 2B | Cut K%, not terrible vs. RHP. Very good with playing time over last two months. .292 XBA, deserving of more PT. | 4 | DS |

35 | Michael Massey | A | KCR | 2B | Strong five cat potential, doesn't run that well. | 3 | |
36 | Christopher Morel | N | CHC | 2B | 32% K, elite arm with pop and speed. Very raw and terrible in second half. | 2 | B |
