Where he does damage, and where to pitch him
Does the most damage up and away (+3.0 vs. league per 100; 1.3 standard errors on 45 pitches, inside the noise for the best of nine cells).
Weakest middle-in (−2.0), but only 0.9 standard errors from average on 51 pitches: no in-zone spot to attack yet.
Runs per 100 pitches vs. an average RHB: better · worse. Catcher’s view · 1,006 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 | LF | −1 | −1 | 0.0 | −1.0 | 88 |
| 2026 | 3B | −6 | −4 | −0.1 | −4.1 | 2,002 |

| 2025 | 3B | −2 | −2 | −0.4 | −2.4 | 1,064 |
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 3B in 2026, the biggest loss came toward 1B line (−4 outs): a coaching target.

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.
