The Major League Baseball (MLB) released the ranking de those who are considered as the best shortstop in the league. This list caused a great controversy among fans and the media because neither Fernando Tatis Jr. nor Francisco Lindor ranked first of it despite the well-known quality they have.
Major League Baseball published the list of the best shortstops in the entire MLB and surprised that the first place was occupied by a player who is neither Fernando Tatis Jr. nor Francisco Lindor, but Trevor Story of the Colorado Rockies.
While Trevor Story is in the first position of this list, Fernando Tatis Jr. is in the second and Francisco Lindor, a couple of steps down, in the fourth as Xander Bogaerts was in the third.
The MLB did not specify the bases that were taken into account for the listing. But be it defensively, offensively, or both combined, few believe that Trevor Story is actually better positioned than the Dominican and the Puerto Rican.
Here we present the complete list of the current ranking of the best shortstops according to MLB for you to ‘judge’ and comment.
