Who is the 2nd Best Cleveland Athlete Right Now?

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Who is the Second Best Athlete in Cleveland Right Now?


  • Total voters
    35
My pick across multiple sports would be the person who would win a decathlon.

Nick Chubb.
 
I think we can separate CLE athletes into a few different tiers:

Tier One: Superstars, MVP-candidates, Cy-Young candidates, etc.
- Francisco Lindor
- Jose Ramirez
- Odell Beckham Jr.
- Corey Kluber
- Trevor Bauer

Tier Two: Stars, Pro Bowlers, All-Stars, very good players, etc.
- Myles Garrett
- Baker Mayfield
- Kevin Love

Tier Three: Fringe Stars, still great players but not on the level of the guys above
- Kareem Hunt
- Nick Chubb
- Carlos Carrasco
- Mike Clevinger
- Brad Hand
- Denzel Ward

Maybe somebody else I'm forgetting / snubbing.

I only have a couple disagreements with this list.

I think you swap Garrett and Bauer. Bauer pitched at a Cy Young level for less than a full season, so I'm not ready to put him in the same category as guys who have been dominant over multiple seasons.

I think Garrett has proven that dominance over his time in the league more than Bauer has. You could also just leave them both tier 2.

I think Brad Hand is also tier 2 unless time in Cleveland is a factor in your list. He's been one of the best relievers in baseball for some time now.
