Over the past week, MLB.com revealed their Top 100 Players Right Now for 2021. As a subjective list, there can be much debate as to which 100 players should be included.

Here are 10 of the biggest snubs from the Top 100 Players Right Now for 2021. Players are listed in alphabetical order by last name.

Others who may have a legitimate gripe in not being on include Chris Bassitt, Jake Cronenworth, Marco Gonzales, Mike Soroka, Andrelton Simmons, Wil Myers, Dallas Keuchel, Brandon Belt, Zach Wheeler, Willy Adames, Miguel Rojas, and German Marquez.

1

Nick Anderson, RP (Tampa Bay Rays)

While Anderson did have his share of struggles in last year’s postseason, there’s no denying he’s been as dominant a reliever as anyone since joining Tampa Bay. In 37.2 regular-season innings with the Rays, he has a 1.43 ERA, microscopic 0.58 WHIP, and 67 strikeouts.

2

Yordan Alvarez, DH (Houston Astros)

A partially torn patellar tendon limited Alvarez to just two outings in 2020, but his 2019 rookie season was absurd. Named AL Rookie of the Year in 2019, he hit .313 with 27 homers and a 1.067 OPS in 369 plate appearances.
