Where he does damage, and where to pitch him
Does the most damage up and away (+3.3 vs. league per 100; 1.5 standard errors on 70 pitches, inside the noise for the best of nine cells).
Weakest middle-middle (−4.2), but only 2.0 standard errors from average on 87 pitches: no in-zone spot to attack yet.
Runs per 100 pitches vs. an average LHB: better · worse. Catcher’s view · 1,375 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).

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 SS in 2026, the biggest loss came toward 1B line (−3 outs): a coaching target.
Tools (percentile; arm among SSs)| Season | Zone | Balls | Outs vs. exp. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | SS | 465 | 0.0 |
| 2025 | SS | 198 | −1.8 |
| 2025 | 2B | 162 | +5.6 |
| 2024 | SS | 398 | +0.2 |
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.
