Where he does damage, and where to pitch him
Does the most damage down and in (+2.8 vs. league per 100; 1.2 standard errors on 48 pitches, inside the noise for the best of nine cells).
Weakest middle-in (−2.6), but only 1.1 standard errors from average on 59 pitches: no in-zone spot to attack yet.
Runs per 100 pitches vs. an average RHB: better · worse. Catcher’s view · 1,230 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 | 3B | 0 | 0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 230 |
| 2026 | 1B | −4 | −3 | −3.3 | −6.3 | 2,222 |
| 2025 | 1B | +2 | +2 | +4.0 | +6.0 | 3,243 |
| 2024 | 1B | −9 | −6 | −1.5 | −7.5 | 4,612 |
| 2023 | 1B | −7 | −5 | +1.2 | −3.8 | 5,433 |
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 1B in 2026, the biggest loss came toward 3B line (−3 outs): a coaching target.
Tools (percentile; arm among 1Bs)| Season | Zone | Balls | Outs vs. exp. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 1B | 123 | −2.9 |
| 2025 | 1B | 181 | −0.1 |
| 2024 | 1B | 255 | +2.4 |
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.
