Where he does damage, and where to pitch him
Does the most damage down and in (+4.6 vs. league per 100; 2.0 standard errors on 44 pitches, inside the noise for the best of nine cells).
Weakest middle-middle (−4.1), but only 1.8 standard errors from average on 55 pitches: no in-zone spot to attack yet.
Runs per 100 pitches vs. an average LHB: better · worse. Catcher’s view · 887 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.

| 2025 | 3B | +1 | +1 | +0.1 | +1.1 | 531 |
Runs = range plus his arm and double-play runs spread over his positions by outs (Fielding Run Value, from 2023): what the rating counts.
| Season | Zone | Balls | Outs vs. exp. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2B | 237 | +3.3 |
| 2025 | 3B | 46 | +2.0 |
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.
