Where he does damage, and where to pitch him
Does the most damage down and away (+3.4 vs. league per 100; 1.7 standard errors on 135 pitches, inside the noise for the best of nine cells).
Weakest down and in (−1.1), but only 0.6 standard errors from average on 108 pitches: no in-zone spot to attack yet.
Runs per 100 pitches vs. an average RHB: better · worse. Catcher’s view · 2,562 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 | 1B | 0 | 0 | −2.9 | −2.9 | 5,372 |
| 2025 | 1B | −9 | −7 | +0.3 | −6.7 | 6,038 |
| 2024 | 1B | −9 | −6 | +5.0 | −1.0 | 5,979 |
| 2023 | 1B | 0 | 0 | +1.8 | +1.8 | 5,415 |
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 1B in 2026, the biggest loss came toward 3B line (−2 outs): a coaching target.
Tools (percentile; arm among 1Bs)| Season | Zone | Balls | Outs vs. exp. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 1B | 328 | −6.3 |
| 2025 | 1B | 389 | −10.5 |
| 2024 | 1B | 328 | −7.7 |
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.
