362-.436-.596 with two dingers and eight RBI.įernando Tatis Jr. 284-.333-.439 with five homers to go along with those 17 RBI and seven steals. Now settled in at shortstop, Kiner-Falefa is hitting. The season he is having now is what I wish I got then. I actually had Kiner-Falefa a couple of years ago on my team, mostly because he was catcher eligible in addition to being able to play second base, third base, and short. I wasn’t sure what to expect from Isiah Kiner-Falefa this season, but I know I wasn’t expecting 17 RBI and seven stolen bases right now. 365-.411-.635 while scoring 10 runs, hitting three homers, and driving in 10. Over the last two weeks, he has been on fire for the Blue Jays with a slash line of. 463 to go with 21 runs scored, eight homers, 20 RBI, and seven steals. While he is still not hitting for a great average at.
Semien moves into the top 5 finally after a steady climb up the rankings. Turner’s slash line will likely be better than Bichette’s, especially in average and OBP, while his speed is what will separate him from Bogaerts. While I have Bogaerts and Bichette ahead of Turner, I would not be surprised to see him become the top shortstop soon and stay there. 551 and his nine homers lead all shortstops while also hitting.
He ranks third in slugging percentage at. Turner, meanwhile, is having an outstanding season after a slow start. 291-.339-.400, but hit only one home run while driving in eight. Bichette scored 12 times and swiped four bases while slashing. 375-.464-.688 with 11 runs scored, four dingers, 10 RBI, and a stolen base. 287-.423-.487 compares well with the other players in this group or is even better, but his four homers and 14 RBI are what leave him ranked fifth.īogaerts overtakes Bichette as the top shortstop thanks to a two-week stretch in which he slashed. Bichette, Turner, and Semien are tied for first in steals with seven while Bichette and Taylor lead this position group in runs scored with 31. But when it comes to Xander Bogaerts, Bo Bichette, Trea Turner, and Marcus Semien, each can make a strong case as to why they should be the top-ranked shortstop at this point.īogaerts and Bichette each entered Saturday’s games ranked second among shortstops in RBI with 23 and home runs with eight. I’m pretty happy with him ranked fifth, but can’t make an argument for why he should be ranked first. The players listed here in Tier 1 can all make a case for being the top shortstop outside of Chris Taylor. If you can buy low on him, you might as well do it because he has to turn it around at some point, right?Įnough small talk, let’s get on with the rankings. I guess if there is a bright spot, both of his home runs and five of his seven RBI have come over the last two weeks. He is still missing in action this season, hitting. If you are wondering about Lindor and where he is ranked, don’t waste your time.

Now in Week 7, the top shortstops have, for the most part, moved to the top of the rankings while the middle tier players are settling into their spot in the rankings. While all five players obviously produced on the field to be ranked, they were helped by the continued freefall of Francisco Lindor and the cold bats of Eugenio Suarez and Donovan Solano and injuries to Jean Segura and Ketel Marte.
