Where he does damage, and where to pitch him
Does the most damage middle-in (+5.3 vs. league per 100; 2.6 standard errors on 100 pitches, inside the noise for the best of nine cells).
Weakest middle-away (−3.2), but only 1.5 standard errors from average on 112 pitches: no in-zone spot to attack yet.
Runs per 100 pitches vs. an average RHB: better · worse. Catcher’s view · 1,771 pitches · faded cells are within one standard error of average. A spot is called only when it is farther from average than the best or worst of nine average cells gets 95% of the time (set from the league’s own pitches: about 3 standard errors above, 2 below).

Runs = range plus his arm and double-play runs spread over his positions by outs (Fielding Run Value, from 2023): what the rating counts.
At LF in 2026, the biggest loss came toward 3B line (−5 outs): a coaching target.
