MLB Network ranked the top 10 third baseman in MLB on Saturday and The Shredder had Jeff McNeil as the fifth-best in the game.
McNeil, 27, is coming off an All-Star 2019 season in which he hit .318/.384/.531 with 23 home runs and 75 RBI. That gave him a superb 143 wRC+ and 4.6 fWAR.

While New York Mets GM Brodie Van Wagenen said McNeil will be playing third base the majority of the time in 2020, he only played 154 1/3 innings at the hot corner last season. In that span, McNeil registered a 2.4 UZR and 3 DRS.
The left-handed hitter also spent time at second base, left field, and right field.
