Amed Rosario may be a terrible fielder but at least he has a 636 OPS. -1.1 bWAR this year

kinda wonder if bader's numbers toward LF are skewed by marcell ozuna's shoulder injury -- recently saw bader come wayyy into left to take a sac fly attempt

this seems like a more relatable, easier to understand way to communicate defensive stats
The Mets right fielder just launched himself full speed into the netting at Guaranteed Rate Field, which extends all the way down to the foul pole, to make a great catch. Extended netting is going to change some outfielders' approaches.

Not full speed, but a dangerous play if the net hadn't been there.

guy is hitting .331 and he's just the "Mets right fielder"? c'mon

I leave all the little details to you, Morbs.

Defense has improved significantly since 2016, to the tune of thousands of extra hits taken away this year--I believe because of improved positioning that puts fielders further away from home plate. https://t.co/D9I0NbBrYY— Rob Arthur (@No_Little_Plans) June 4, 2021

Just saw the N.L. GG nominees--Arenado's not up this year?

What happened to the good old days, when GGs were based on reputation and how well you hit?

can't really speak to the other two, but ke'bryan hayes is an absolute defensive wizard
which is just as well because he hits like an old-school shortstop

Evidently they look at this pretty carefully now. (Scroll down to "Why isn’t Arenado a finalist?")
