Our players with the top 4 lowest defensive values, according to fangraphs. I understand that UZR/150 is a better metric, but still.
1. Daulton Varsho (-1.5): The league's most valuable outfielder in 2022, also according to fangraphs.
2. Matt Chapman (-1.4): Platinum Glove winner and 2022 Gold Glove award finalist.
3. Whit Merrifield (-1.4): 2022 Gold Glove award finalist.
4. Vladimir Guerrero Jr (-1.2): 2022 Gold Glove for first base.
These are really, really bad defensive numbers and are obviously incorrect. It's amazing how bad defensive metrics remain with all of the statistics and metrics available. The eye test still reigns supreme in some respects.
