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 | 2B | +1 | 0 | −3.0 | −3.0 | 5,847 |
| 2025 | 2B | −4 | −3 | −0.7 | −3.7 | 5,924 |
| 2024 | 2B | −2 | −1 | −1.8 | −2.8 | 3,622 |
| 2023 | 2B | −10 | −8 | −2.8 | −10.8 | 5,633 |
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 2B in 2026, the biggest loss came toward 3B line (−4 outs): a coaching target.
Tools (percentile; arm among 2Bs)| Season | Zone | Balls | Outs vs. exp. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2B | 541 | +12.1 |
| 2025 | 2B | 568 | +15.3 |
| 2024 | 2B | 309 | +8.3 |
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.
