Only time will tell if Correa can improve defensively while maintaining his offensive productivity. Middle of the pack, while far from noteworthy, is adequate for a player with his particular set of skills with the bat. And while his defense isn’t certainly the best, he isn’t the worst either. The offensive numbers he is capable of producing alone places him in the conversation. Overall, Correa is rightly ranked amongst the top three shortstops in baseball.

There isn’t anything wrong with finishing behind those two guys.īeyond the word of mouth though, Correa’s 2016 metrics, mainly offensive, peg him as one of the top five shortstops in baseball. Corey Seager had an amazing rookie season for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Francisco Lindor of the Cleveland Indians is quite the shortstop himself. While he isn’t the top ranked shortstop in baseball per MLB Network, the accomplishment of landing within the top three is definitely notable.
