Where he does damage, and where to pitch him
Does the most damage up over the middle (+4.9 vs. league per 100; 2.2 standard errors on 75 pitches, inside the noise for the best of nine cells).
Weakest middle-in (−5.6; 2.5 standard errors below average on 58 pitches). Pitchers should attack here.
Runs per 100 pitches vs. an average RHB: better · worse. Catcher’s view · 1,282 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.

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 back (−2 outs): a coaching target.
Tools (percentile; arm among 2Bs)| Season | Zone | Balls | Outs vs. exp. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | SS | 42 | −0.5 |
| 2026 | 3B | 50 | +0.2 |
| 2026 | 2B | 185 | −3.2 |
| 2025 | 3B | 125 | +5.9 |
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.
