Where he does damage, and where to pitch him
Does the most damage up over the middle (+3.3 vs. league per 100; 1.5 standard errors on 68 pitches, inside the noise for the best of nine cells).
Weakest down and away (−1.8), but only 0.9 standard errors from average on 111 pitches: no in-zone spot to attack yet.
Runs per 100 pitches vs. an average RHB: better · worse. Catcher’s view · 1,307 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.

| 2023 | RF | −3 | −3 | −1.7 | −4.7 | 1,037 |
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 (−2 outs): a coaching target.
