Best ever defensive shortstop. I get sick of hearing about Ozzie Smith, Ozzie has nothing on Vizquel offensively or defensively and the fact that Smith and Aparicio are both in the HOF with lower batting averages and lower fielding percentages should make Vizquel automatically in the HOF.

I just have same opinion with you. Ozzie didn't have Omar's bear hand catches. Ozzie had poor arm strength and his throws from the hall couldn't reach directly to the firstbase man. I wonder why Vizquel has been struggling on the HOF voting.

@satoshisata3409 Omar was on a good track for awhile, gaining votes each year, but then there was some scuttlebutt about domestic abuse issues. Does not seem to be in the man's character to me, but perhaps there is a hidden side...

C'mon, man. Ozzie didn't have Omar's hands, but nobody had Ozzie's range. Ozzie's deservedly in the Hall. I think Omar is getting screwed by the fact he played in the steroid era, so while his OPS is better than Ozzie's, his OPS+ is lower. But saying Ozzie isn't as good defensively as Omar seems short-sighted. Vizquel is, in a lot of ways, more entertaining to watch than Ozzie, but when it comes to turning ground balls into outs, Ozzie is second to none.

Put it this way, Ozzie is 26th in all time fielding percentage for a short stop. Still great. No doubt. But Omar was #1 and h was clutch too.

He's a tough call, 3000 hits would be nice, he's 133 shy. Still, he's 43rd all time there. Only 3 AS appearances in 24 year career. Only once did he garner any MVP votes. I think with some weak candidates on the horizon, especially this year's ballot, he might get in and I'm fine with it. I can go either way with him.

Por favor ., se requiere un video con las mejores jugadas de Vizquel as y Alomar 2B., estás dos leyendas.

I think he was a better defensive SS than Ozzie Smith, and here's why: Ozzie played the vast majority of his game on astroturf, and rarely got bad bounces. Vizquel, with the execption of his stint in Seattle, played on grass fields with dirt infields, and quite often got bad bounces from rocks and debris. He was incredible.

@@derekwang7330 DRS is an index of how a player compares to other players in the league. Ozzie was meant to stand out among poor shortstops of his era. Omar stood out even among much better shortstops including several Latinos. Also, since DRS is calculated for only one season, it is defined as an index that cannot be simply compared with past players. Ozzie didn't have fielding and throwing skills that Omar had as I've written. Ozzie was apparently defensively inferior to Omar.

perfect catch and throw he was a perfect performance artist...

Quienes lo vimos jugar disfrutamos de lo elegante en su defensa y lo elegante q hacia las jugadas y como bateador no fue un bate quebrado exelente Vizquel ,, soy magallanero y para mí es el mejor y creo q le hurtaron la palabra mago ,,

Man, those were some fun teams. I remember watching every game as a kid with my grandparents. Some great times!!

Omar Vizquel, con sus 11 Guantes de Oro ganados, ya debería estar en Cooperstown, sin pasar por "GO". 31/5/2020.

Best SS in the game.

He's #1 in fielding % for SS for a reason. Was pretty good at 3rd,2nd, and even 1st. The few times he played there.

Barehanded plays are crazy from deep in the infield like he plays blindfolded or something

Cant believe no highlights of him barehand catching balls with his throwing arm and almost in one motion throwing the batter out ! Or when he would catch the ball off of the back of his glove !!! And toss out at second for a double play ! He was something else !

🐐 goat

The most successful Cleveland Indian shortstop of all time and probably the second favorite Cleveland Indian of all time

Greatest defensive SS of all time. Nobody else really comes close.

El chamo Visquel

he is cool Guy

The play at like 2:10 is remarkable. Yeah the grab is good but the way he gets up and plants his right leg first instead of getting up with his left leg then having to set his right and then step with his left again. You really can't teach that that's all instinct and the reason why he's the best SS ever
