Rather than rank the teams 1-30, we’re doing it by tiers … and only two teams made the ‘excellent’ cut
By
Zach Neto is the biggest bright spot on a team without many on the defensive side.
By
Otto López can handle second base or shortstop and do pretty well at either spot.
By
Jacob Young can go back and get ’em with the best center fielders in baseball.
By
Players who sputtered at the start but closed the season strong on the mound, at the plate, and in the field.

Matt Chapman is still pretty good at third base. He’s one of the best things this Giants defense has going for it.
By
Pete Alonso, the Orioles big acquisition this offseason, has some things to get better at defensively
By
Colson Montgomery is the standout on a White Sox team that is lacking in standout defensive players.
By
Ryan McMahon has been one of the most consistent (and good) defensive third basemen in baseball.
By
Marcus Semien consistently rates well in Defensive Runs Saved and will be part of an interesting infield this season.
