The rise of A's star Marcus Semien has been well documented, and it was further highlighted Saturday when MLB Network released their list of the 10 best shortstops in the game.
Afer being unranked ahead of the 2019 season, Semien comes in at No. 4 just weeks before spring training starts. He is behind just Trevor Story of the Colorado Rockies, Francisco Lindor of the Cleveland Indians and Javier Baez of the Chicago Cubs.
Semien is ranked as the second-best shortstop in the AL, behind only Lindor, who MLB Network had as the best in the game at his position prior to last season.
