Shortstop is one of the most iconic positions in the MLB, and there is incredible talent in the position. Shortstops are frequently expected to excel defensively while being consistent offensive players at the plate. The position requires an astonishing diversity of skills, which makes it challenging to play. There is an argument to be made that the talent at the position right now is historic.Ranking the top ten was always going to yield controversial results considering the position. There are superstar shortstops across the MLB, and their importance to their respective teams cannot be overstated. The New York Yankees used to be the kings of this position with Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez. Now, their shortstop doesn't even approach the top ten.MLB Network shared the rankings made by fan votes on Twitter.MLB Network@MLBNetworkHere are the results of the #Top10RightNow Fan Vote at SS! @MLBNow will count down their top Shortstops heading into next season at 8pm ET.85563Here are the results of the #Top10RightNow Fan Vote at SS! 👇@MLBNow will count down their top Shortstops heading into next season at 8pm ET. https://t.co/XKWAwYJixIFans around the league instantly found issues with the list, but not where you might expect. Many agree with the placement of Trea Turner and Francisco Lindor in the top two positions. They both play in the vaunted National League East, on the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Mets, respectively. Lists like these will never appease anybody who wants to defend their favorite players.Brandon Lackey@OhioCoachLackey@MLBNetwork @MLBNow Dansby at 6 is a joke.1@MLBNetwork @MLBNow Dansby at 6 is a joke.Philadelphia Phillies@Phillies@MLBNetwork @MLBNow Love to see it17211@MLBNetwork @MLBNow Love to see itJoey Mistretta@JoeyMistretta_@MLBNetwork @MLBNow Trea Turner at No. 1 is goodPeña over Correa is surprisingGood to see Witt Jr back at short, he’s destined for a big season in 2023.2@MLBNetwork @MLBNow Trea Turner at No. 1 is goodPeña over Correa is surprisingGood to see Witt Jr back at short, he’s destined for a big season in 2023.Trouble arrived at Houston Astros rookie Jeremy Pena in the number three spot. He had an excellent rookie campaign, including a brilliant postseason run culminating in a championship. There could be an element of recency bias that led to his placement being higher in the rankings than expected.RB@rbhockey6Jeremy Peña was the literal definition of mid.
