This list is entirely objective and accurate. If you disagree with it, you're wrong. On to it...
1. Ozzie Albies - a pencil bat that lacks home run power, a somewhat speedy base runner who doesn't drive in a lot of runs is considered by many for some insane reason as a "very good" 2nd baseman. He's average at best, he's purely a singles hitter, and when you want at a minimum extra base power out of that position, he doesn't bring a lot to the table. Only 8 total minor league home runs.
2. Mookie Betts - once compared to Ben Revere as a prospect, a short, but speedy outfielder who also lacks power, has been a product of the juiced baseballs(like many who will make this list). Under normal circumstances he's a .265/12/70 guy who just became one of the richest players in baseball. For what? Utter insanity.
3. Cody Bellinger - a guy no one had ever heard of before coming into the big leagues, was at no point a top 50 prospect. He posted very pedestrian minor league numbers, and has overachieved in the bigs due to the juiced baseballs. A guy without a position, as a poor defensive outfielder with a weak arm. Might be a future first baseman.
4. Jacob DeGrom - tabbed as a pitcher with a fastball that tops out at 92 as a prospect and a meticulous pitcher as a prospect, he suspiciously had a "velocity increase" in the major leagues. Sources have told me in the past, the Mets juice the radar gun during home games to inflate his velocity. He's good, but he's not great or dominant.
5. Jayson Tatum - a Bonzi Wells clone, he's a solid NBA player who has a ceiling of "good" who some pundits have absurdly put into the NBA's top 10 already. Shows you how much they know about basketball.
6. Trea Turner - Pronounced Trey-uh(Tre is spelled with no 'a') a defensive-centric shortshop, who comes from a long line of Nationals prospect busts, which finally had a broken trend with the impressive Soto. In fact, I was tempted to put the Nationals' farm system as a whole. Turner, Robles, Taylor... none of them can play.
7. Pete Alonso - a singles hitter in the minor leagues, has been another player aided by juiced baseball and potentially PEDs. He doesn't hit for average and relies on cheap home runs. Interesting stat: he has not hit a home run more than 400 feet in his young career to date.
8. Raine Prescott - a highly inaccurate passer, lacks a strong arm, has been unproductive without an elite offensive line and great receiving weapons.
9.Giannis Antetokounmpo - a career 24% field goal shooter outside of 8 feet, a player who is obviously very good, but proclaimed as "the best in his sport" cannot receive such accolades without winning at the highest level and diversifying his game.
10. Anthony Davis - a very skilled offensive player, who still can't shoot consistently from downtown, Davis' overratedness comes from the defensive side of the ball. A good weak side shotblocker, he doesn't have the body strength to hold up anyone with size or strength out of the paint and in the low post. Arguably the softest big man in the history of the NBA.
11. Michael Conforto - I honestly don't even think highly enough of him to put him on this list, but some people actually think he can play a little, and he's a utility outfielder, Aaron Altherr clone. He does not belong starting on any major league team.
12. Mike Soroka - he's not too overrated yet, because he only has one reason under his belt, but he's a low velocity pitcher who relies on contact to get outs and doesn't have strikeout stuff. Those pitchers are always inconsistent in the major leagues.
13. Rudy Gobert - a nothing offensively who is showing signs of wearing down defensively, he is a guy who will find himself out of the league within 4 years.
14. Stephen Strasburg - a pitcher who was heralded as the "second coming" has never been any more than a #3 starter at any point in his career. A mental midget who doesn't have the mental makeup to handle a big city, he seems right at home with a fan base that doesn't care or can even sell out playoff games.
15. Nikola Jokic - an oafy lumbering center who has offensive skills, but wears down late in games and can't play a lick of defense.
16. Max Muncy - a dude who was waived from the Oakland A's, he's been a product of juiced baseballs and PEDs. Not a single person on the planet knew who this guy was 3 years ago. No one.
17. Draymond Green - I hesitated putting him on this list, because I think people are starting to come to terms with just what this guy is, but he isn't an elite player, he never was. He's a jack of all trades type, who is a liability offensively and some think is a max level player.
18. Mike Stanton - a home run or bust player with no defensive skills whatsoever and a knack for being a horrible playoff and big moment choker, he is vastly overpaid and overrated.
19. Michael Thomas - a very good WR who is more of a product of his system than dominant. Would be productive everywhere, but he is not on the level of Julio Jones, DeAndre Hopkins, and other elite WRs in the NFL/
20. Marcus Peters - a horrible coverage guy who has already been traded twice. He inflates INT because he gambles and gets thrown at a lot because QBs don't respect him.
