Where he does damage, and where to pitch him
Does the most damage down over the middle (+7.1 vs. league per 100; 3.3 standard errors above average on 82 pitches).
Weakest middle-in (−3.0), but only 1.3 standard errors from average on 65 pitches: no in-zone spot to attack yet.
Runs per 100 pitches vs. an average LHB: better · worse. Catcher’s view · 1,137 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 | LF | −1 | −1 | +0.1 | −0.9 | 304 |
| 2026 | RF | −1 | −1 | +0.3 | −0.7 | 835 |

| 2023 | RF | −3 | −3 | +0.3 | −2.7 | 3,233 |
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 RF in 2026, the biggest loss came toward 1B line (−3 outs): a coaching target.

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.
