Most underrated players according to you
-
Barry Larkin comes to mind when speaking about one of the most underrated players. His swing is so glitching for me it’s incredible. His ability to hit well pitches in the lower portion of the strike zone for homeruns and triples is out of this world.

There's a bunch because most people only use the biggest name ones. But yes, Larkin, Rollins, Topps Now Altuve, Finest B Reynolds, and I know I am missing a bunch more. And to me Vlad Guerrero is the best hitter in the game this year. But I think a lot of people know that so he doesnt count as underrated. But I bet a lot of guys are using Ruth, or Mays or someone out there over Vlad when they shouldnt be.

Agree. Vlad is one of the best hitting outfielders in the game. But many players stop using him because of his defense or lack thereof. Vlad has troubles locking into balls and does not seem to react well to hard hit balls. That’s why you see Mays and not Vlad anymore.
Brian Reynolds is not underrated in my opinion. I see him all time on many top player squads.

The Topps Now Andrew Velazquez and FS Wander Franco both rake for me. I used Velazquez as part of my Yankee theme team and hit so well with him, I use him in my main squad now. I’m probably a .250ish hitter overall but push .350 with both of those guys. Just something that works for me.
-
I created a post a bit back asking about him prior to getting him on the market, but Joe Morgan has been one of my best online since getting him.

Herold Baines

Here's a weird one, maybe not "underrated", but I love Monthly Awards Luis Robert for some reason. I don't think he's been mentioned a whole lot out here.
-
Finest Kyle Tucker and Ketel Marte are arguably the best hitters I have ever used since I started playing this game 7 years ago. For me, having someone hover around .300 is pretty good and these guys through 150 AB's are sitting in the low .400's with a ton of HR's. Also, Clemente was an absolute beast for me.
-
MS Lou Brock- although I think a lot of people caught on.
MS Andrew McCutchen
MS Christian Yelich
-
He was a much talked about when he dropped but I feel like I dont see him in a whole lot of lineup or hear him talked about anymore. Hank Aaron Very similar to Vlad but better speed and defense and can play 1b. Mays, Griffey, Trout and Mantle are all the rage, but Hank has a glitchy swing imo.
-
Hit great with Duke Snider, My OF consisted of Snider, Mantle and Baines, Sinder is at P5 he was replaced, Baines and Mantle both at P4.

Same for the Tim Anderson TN card that came from the FOD program, it was in everyone's lineup when it came out but personally I don't hear much about it anymore but it's still one of the best SS cards in the game again imo.

Yep, I love that Tim Anderson card. I moved him to 2B and have him and Lindor as my middle infield for my AL central team when grinding for TA5. He absolutely mashes.

I always like Morgan; his swing is smooth and he has all the tools.

Great card and he has a bright future.

Post season Tommy Edman

For me the Stanton wild card card was a real gem. I constantly hit really well with him when I have him in the lineup. He had to be the fastest player for me to hit 30 plus homers runs. Plus he had just enough sped to play decent defense. Love that card.
-
Carlos Correa finest still hitting above .300 with a .621 slugg on mostly legend. Got him to P4 74/74 today too.
