<p>The 2022 MLB season is near its midpoint, with the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/diego-maradona-hand-of-god-shirt-up-for-auction-could-break-5-64-m-record-set-by-mlb-icon-babe-ruth-20220406-0023.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Yankees</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/new-york-mets-25-great-simply-amazin-players-of-all-time-20220412-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Mets</a></strong> being the two biggest stories when it comes to teams. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/oakland-athletics-rock-these-mlb-soccer-jerseys-inspired-by-the-teams-nickname-and-citys-murals-20200904-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Oakland Athletics</strong></a> are the biggest story in terms of flops for teams in the MLB this season with a pitiful 23-45 record.</p>
<p>When it comes to players,<strong> Luis Arráez, Aaron Judge, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-25-highest-paid-players-for-2022-season-20220427-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Justin Verlander,</a> and Julio Rodríguez</strong> are among the standout players this season, leaders in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/top-10-mlb-winning-pitchers-in-2022-20220502-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">many of the top categories</a>. Then there is the not so famous list of players who have gravely disappointed in 2022.</p>
<p>Here is a list of five of the biggest flops so far in the MLB 2022 season. <strong>These five players have a lot to think about going into the second half of the season.</strong></p>
<h2>Max Muncy</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220621_BUS_193640_max_muncy_crop1655837184332.jpg_22069893_754571ca.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Max Muncy (Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>It has been a 2022 to forget for infielder Max Muncy, after a torn elbow ligament things have been pretty timid, with a batting average of just .153 and a dismal 4 home runs so far this season.</p>
<h2>Lou Trivino</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220621_BUS_193640_lou_trivino_crop1655837112412.jpg_22069893_4af075bb.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Lou Trivino (Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>How much blame can right hander Lou Trivino really share playing for such a poor Athletics side? Trivino has a poor 1-5 record and an ERA of 8.66. Last season Trivino was a Reliever of the Month in the American League, this season things have not flowed well at all.</p>
<h2>Marcus Semien</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220621_BUS_193640_marcus_semien_crop1655837063349.jpg_22069893_3456fb67.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Marcus Semien (Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Marcus Semien’s move to the Texas Rangers have been widely disappointing with only a OBP of .288 and 6 home runs, not what you want from a player worth $175 million across seven years.</p>
<h2>Akil Baddoo</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220621_BUS_193640_akil_baddoo_crop1655836950396.jpg_22069893_d90363fb.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Akil Baddoo (Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Akil Baddoo was supposed to have his breakout season this year for the Detroit Tigers, but that did not happen as he was busted down to Triple A ball by May, only having a .140 batting average.</p>
<h2>Cody Bellinger</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220621_BUS_193640_cody_bellinger_crop1655836679218.jpg_22069893_8ea99a82.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Cody Bellinger (Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Cody Bellinger has simply not improved, with only 8 home runs and a OBP of .277, Bellinger is nowhere near the accolades he was at two years ago. Cody Bellinger should be one of his club’s best players but for now is riding the wave that is the Los Angeles Dodgers.</p>

<h2>The 5 Best MLB Players 25 Or Under</h2>
<p><strong>Honorable Mention:</strong><em>Ozzie Albies, Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Mike Soroka, Gleyber Torres, Rafael Devers.</em></p>
<h2>5. Juan Soto</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210224_BUS_168876_juan_soto.jpg_22993414_d6567473.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Juan Soto. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Juan Soto</strong> continues to make strides in The Big Show. While not considered an elite defender, his outs above average prove that he’s way better than most people think. Still, there’s no doubt that his swing is his biggest trait.</p>
<p>Soto is already one of the most feared and respected sluggers in the league. He was barely old enough to drink when he led the<strong> Washington Nationals</strong> to the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/mlb-all-time-world-series-champions-by-year-20200724-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>World Series</strong></a> title a couple of years ago.</p>

<p></p>
<h2>4. Ronald Acuña Jr</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210224_BUS_168876_ronald_acuxa_jr.jpg_22993414_26da8d2a.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Ronald Acuña Jr. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>While some may consider him disrespectful,<strong> Ronald Acuña Jr </strong>is one of the few players that’s making baseball fun to watch again. He’s fierce, relentless, and it seems like he’s always on the verge of making the highlights.</p>
<p>It’s hard to put into words just how good Acuña Jr can be. He’s improved on every aspect of his game on a yearly basis and is one of the most athletic players out there. He’ll be<strong> an MVP candidate</strong> for years to come.</p>
<p><span></span></p>
<div class="ck-related-news">  <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2020/07/29/noticia_0003.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>
<div id="relatedNews-64">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<h2>3. Cody Bellinger</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210224_BUS_168876_cody_bellinger.jpg_22993414_7bbcf6c9.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Cody Bellinger. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>How many players can brag about playing a huge role in a World Series championship? Well, <strong>Cody Bellinger</strong> definitely can. In fact, most people find it hard to believe that he’s just 25 years old considering how good he’s been for some years now.</p>
<p>Not only Bellinger is one of the best defenders in his position while also giving the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-dodgers-t110773" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Los Angeles Dodgers</a> a lot of versatility due to his ability to play at the first base as well. He’s also a power hitter and <strong>there aren’t any kinds of flaws in his game.</strong></p>
<p><span></span></p>
<div class="ck-related-news">  <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2021/02/18/noticia_0006.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>
<div id="relatedNews-1">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<h2>2. Shane Bieber</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210224_BUS_168876_shane_bieber.jpg_22993414_44458b75.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Shane Bieber. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Shane Bieber</strong> had already put the world on notice during his 2019 campaign but he definitely took it up a notch in the shortened season, taking home the American League Cy Young award.</p>
<p>The Cleveland Indians star has one of the best strikeout-to-walk ratios in the Majors and his four-pitch repertoire maked him just impossible to read for the average hitter. Also, he’s shown his durability with<strong> multiple complete games and shutouts.</strong></p>
<p><span></span></p>
<div class="ck-related-news">  <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2021/02/18/noticia_0007.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>
<div id="relatedNews-61">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<h2>1. Fernando Tatis Jr</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210224_BUS_168876_fernando_tatis_jr.jpg_22993414_8eb9e13e.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Fernando Tatis Jr. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>And, obviously, <strong>Fernando Tatis Jr</strong> has to be at the top of this list following his outstanding campaign in 2020. He’s the most entertaining player to watch in all baseball right now and his upside seems unlimited.</p>
<p>Tatis Jr significantly improved his defense while being one of the best offensive players in the world as well. He was an MVP candidate for most of last year and it’s only getting started, and that’s why the San Diego Padres tied him up with a <strong>massive contract extension.</strong></p>
