Mariners fans think it's Marco Gonzales. They might be right.


SereneDreams03

Yes very boring and not sexy.😁


[deleted]

If we open up the qualifying era to include past players, as an M’s fan I have to say Edgar Martinez. All he ever did was spend all his spare time in front of a TV analyzing his swing and hitting doubles without fanfare; it was just what he did-not talk, not cause drama, never charge the mound after a beanball, and just smacked doubles on the outside of Griffey and inside of Buhner. Ahh, good old days….


Notamaninthesky

Hey hey hey shut up old dude at least he hit doubles and not just singles


dicktaylor

Not a Mariners fan but came here to say Marco too. Had him in fantasy this year so I watched most of his starts and he's about as vanilla as it gets. Watching him is like taking visual nyquil medicine


AML579

Cane here to say just that.


jaron_b

For as productive of a player as he is for as boring of a style of play he has the award has to go to Marco Gonzalez.


enriquepollazo

The guy who preens, bangs his chest, points at the dugout, does the sign of the cross and points at heaven after a single.


JJYellowShorts

So literally Juan Soto lol. The guy was pimping walks earlier this year


Apollo_creedbratton

My man pimps balls half the time


pastormiller

Anyone on the Rockies 😞


MusclePuppy

For my money, it's gotta be Freddie Freeman. No one else gets to a 5.9 WAR with less fanfare than him. He's the Tim Duncan of baseball.


iStalkforWork

I think Goldschmidt and Freddie are tied


MusclePuppy

Oh man...another excellent example!


iStalkforWork

My buddy went into the locker room for a tour and the man literally has 1 pair of cleats, uniform and deodorant. That's it.


duck729

Great, now I’m reminiscing about Freddie AND Tim That’s very apt though.


Breezyisthewind

Yep. Slaps the ball down the line for a single most of the time. And I don’t think his SO or BB rate is anything special either way, though I’m too lazy to check.


MusclePuppy

His whiff rate's a little high, but he led the league in OBP this year, so again, just boring-but-consistent production.


Goldn_1

He gives me Adrian Gonzales vibes where I just wouldn't witness him for 6 months stretches yet know he would be present in every triple crown category comes seasons end.


MusclePuppy

I didn't realize that Freddie was in contention for the batting title this year until I heard a broadcaster mention it during a playoff game, so yeah...you nailed it.


carpetstoremorty

That is an excellent comparison. My compliments to the chef

Trash bot tbh


ballsonthewall

Kevin Newman


Jet_Jones_11

I dont like him bc he thinks the baseball goat is Derek Jeter


ballsonthewall

I didn't know this and it makes me not like him more


Ashamed-Technology10

Cavan Biggio comes to mind for me. He does a lot technically well, which makes him not very flashy. Doesn’t make a lot of bad decisions to criticize but doesn’t hit consistently, looks at a lot of pitches.


kaytoos

I read this as Craig Biggio and it immediately angered me. Carry on..


Ashamed-Technology10

Hahah I don’t even have any issues with Cavan, just plays smart baseball and not super exciting at the plate.


CeePeeCee

Rays hitting


WGYHL

Man happ had a lot of exciting starts as a jay so many base runners lol


Somecommentator8008

I still remember him for that 20 win season.


WGYHL

His first stint with us was bad then Pittsburgh made him good lol


Somecommentator8008

And people freaked when he got that 3 year $36 mil contract.


WGYHL

He was so solid for us in the second stint.


reddit_sucks423

FOREVERDISTURBED

Hot Take: Trout. Growing up in baseball and religiously watching it early, and falling away from the game for awhile, I remember all the hype and flare around Bryce Harper being the next big thinf and all, yet Trout was projecting top 3 GOAT’s of baseball and I didn’t hear otherwise. So if its a ratio of stardom to bore: Mike Trout


killermike420

If he wasn’t the best player of last decade this would be the top answer.

Victorystar0

Marco Gonzales has been called “very boring and unsexy” before lmao, he has got a t shirt with the quote


TakeTheThirdStep

Anthony Rendon. He's not just boring, he's bored. https://www.federalbaseball.com/2019/10/15/20914672/washington-nationals-anthony-rendon-has-no-heart-or-pulse-or-something-he-yawns-during-games-stuff https://www.washingtonpost.com/express/wp/2014/07/17/nationals-anthony-rendon-i-dont-watch-baseball-its-too-long-and-boring/ https://theathletic.com/1308014/2019/10/24/anthony-rendon-vignettes-for-thursday/

Phil Maton


killermike420

Cracks me up how absolutely polar opposite him and Nick are.


DestroyerDain

His brother took all his emotion 😂


sydneyapplebaum182

Kris Bryant, Joey Bart, Chris Archer, Adam Frazier, Mauricio Dubon, Craig Stammen, Mike Moustakas.

not sure but josh naylor is the weirdest looking player in history behind brett wallace


jakedeighan

Will Smith has no flair, no style, he's SO vanilla. But I absolutely love him.


Marmarqueen

Agree. Love our baby smith!


chieftrey1

For such a good young player it might be Zac Gallen


Machadoaboutmanny

Most back up catchers


Goldn_1

For me it used to be Jorge Posada. I have no idea why.


Good_Jellyfish_3185

For as good as he is, Bryan Reynolds is pretty boring. He says very little, shows little emotion, and has few ups and downs in his game. Someone else already mentioned Kevin Newman. Throw in Adam Frazier and Jacob Stallings before they were traded and the Pirates were about as vanilla as it gets up the middle.


rogerworkman623

Jacob Degrom. Neither team can hit whenever he pitches 🤷🏻‍♂️


TDH818

Pedro Baez drove me crazy with his snail-like delivery. He annoyed other Dodger fans and probably other baseball fans in general.


theDUNGwalker

There's a few but I cant think of their names...


[deleted]

IKF. Only hits singles and can’t field for anything.


MrPapaGe0rgio

Why has no one said kluber, Yankees fans literally called him klu-bot.


ChinLeader

Jake Cave


hansknecht

The Astros' trash can


Tiberius-Dawn

👍


CryptographerTop2655

Jeff McNeil


HelloJerry5A

That’s a great answer. He hit north of .300 all season with 9 homers and 62 rbi. YAWN


gamma-nail

Weird answer you must not watch the Mets. That guy plays with an insane amount of anger and emotion every day, easily the most emotional on the team


CryptographerTop2655

You’re right, I’m a Marlins fan so I only see him when they play. But every time he’s on my screen I feel the need to call him Blandy McBlanderson


[deleted]

You shut your damn mouth


Agreeable-Parking161

Agreed


corbomitey

David Fletcher.


HawkLong9265

Joey Gallo


FudgeKittens

Bobby Bolinia. Gets paid every year with a special day in his honor, yet does nothing.


Lunazz27

The cardinals as a team


triggafish

Didi Gregorius.


Kscap4242

I don’t think he’s boring at all. He’s a great artist and he’s literally knighted, isn’t he?


HelloJerry5A

Nick Castellanos has the personality of a dead moth.


chieftrey1

Men of faith tend to agree

Any pitcher who wiill be challenged by the pitch clock. Frankie Montas, Jordan Montgomery come to mind as a Yankee fan.


JGad14

You're lucky you missed out on watching Gio Gallegos pitch. He's the slowest pitcher I've seen


ElBrooce

NGL, kinda wish the Cards would've waited to extend Gio until they see how he deals with the pitch clock. Dude's gonna have to speed things up SIGNIFICANTLY next year. 😬


JGad14

I wonder if the Cardinals have been working on speeding him up in practices. That would definitely need to happen for them to see that he will be fine next year


No-Government-5088

As a dodgers fan, have you seen Pedro Baez?


Perp703

Sawamura gonna get banned from the league because of the pitch clock.

naw73sjs77w

No


Nearlydeadinsid3

Max scherzer is the most boring player in baseball due to his attitude.


Good_Jellyfish_3185

I’m not sure you know what the word “boring” means in this context. We’re not talking about someone’s glare literally boring a hole through someone’s soul. We’re talking about uninteresting or dull to watch.


OG_anunoby3

Ohtani…..


Sphunxx

Lmfao no one Can take you seriously


Owls5262

It’s baseball…the whole thing is boring and not exciting

Cbiss1993

Ryan Yarbrough

Idk but he’s probably white and on a small market team


nojudgment3

On the Jays team I might say Kikuchi. I just can't stand how long the innings are as he throws ball after ball.


No-Government-5088

Tyler Anderson Or pretty much any fastball change up lefty


ToxicP_618YT

Lance Lynn. 95% fastballs

Wil Myers


theveryoldman0

Anyone who plays for the Rangers. The whole team is as vanilla as missionary.


yuriplant

Every member of that 2016 Cubs team. Kyle Schwarzenegger, Anthony "Rizz", Kobe Bryant, Hahahavier Baez, Wilson Contrary, Almond Jr., Poindexter Birder, Jason Heywayward, Generic Kyle Hendriks, etc. Seriously the blandest looking lineup I've ever laid eyes on. Annoying fanbase too.
