Top 200 Baseball Players Ever - #175-173 BILL MAZEROSKI, JOE SEWELL, JOE GORDON

EDIT - YOU CAN FIND THE UPDATED RANKINGS UNDER THE LABEL BEST BASEBALL PLAYERS EVER

#175 BILL MAZEROSKI 2B Pirates

1956-72

OPS+ 84

BFW 35.2

WARP3 91

Worst bat in the list; only sub 100 OPS bats on the list - Concepcion, Bancroft, Maz, Dick Bartell, Ozzie Smith. Maz and Ozzie, without debate really, are considered the best gloves ever at their positions.

#174 JOE SEWELL SS Indians

1920-33

OPS+ 109

BFW 35.2

WARP3 91.5

Interesting is where the Pete Palmer metrics, BFW/PW, radically diverge from the BP metric WARP3. Also interesting are situations like Maz and Sewell, almost twins in their end product; that shows just how much value is ascribed to Maz's glove; Sewell's 109 OPS+ isn't special, but with a SS glove he makes the list solidly - but his glove isn't in the same universe as Mazeroski's, who lugs a bad bat, not an average bat - but with an OPS+ of 84, a bad bat, all the way to a BFW and WARP3 that reach Sewell's exactly.

Mazeroski had a great glove. That's the point.

#173 JOE GORDON 2B Yankees/Indians

1938-50

OPS+ 121

BFW 28.8

WARP3 94.2

Spoiler alert - Joe Gordon was not the greatest Yankee second baseman of all time.
