Where he does damage, and where to pitch him
Does the most damage down and in (+2.4 vs. league per 100; 1.0 standard errors on 57 pitches, inside the noise for the best of nine cells).
Weakest middle-in (−1.6), but only 0.7 standard errors from average on 63 pitches: no in-zone spot to attack yet.
Runs per 100 pitches vs. an average LHB: better · worse. Catcher’s view · 1,458 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).

Fielding
2027 rating at every position he can play · OAA by position · range by direction · tools. Same engine as the Fielding Lab and the Winter Plan.
| Season | Pos | OAA | Range | Arm, DP | Runs | Batters |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | SS | +1 | +1 | −2.2 | −1.2 | 3,520 |
| 2025 | SS | +4 | +3 | +0.8 | +3.8 | 3,402 |
| 2024 | SS | +5 | +4 | −0.9 | +3.1 | 4,068 |
| 2023 | SS | +1 | +1 | +0.1 | +1.1 | 3,980 |
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 SS in 2026, the biggest loss came back (−2 outs): a coaching target.
Tools (percentile; arm among SSs)| Season | Zone | Balls | Outs vs. exp. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | SS | 305 | −1.4 |
| 2025 | SS | 333 | +2.7 |
| 2024 | SS | 409 | +10.1 |
The zone rating counts every ball hit to his part of the field while he played there, his club’s positioning included; Savant OAA uses his actual starting spot and is the better individual grade. They agree best in the outfield. See the model card.
