Looking at his stats

He started the year as a 80 overall
He hit .211 in April and was knocked down to a 78
Me tore it up in the month of May and in the two May updates they raised him 4 points to an 82.

The slow start definitely hurt him and no way they would bump him from a 78 to an 85 in the two may updates regardless of how hot he was. Theoretically the ratings should have more to do with consistency over a hot streak. He will most likely be bumped again the next update but I question a 3 point upgrade. First 5 games in June he is batting around .263.

I am guessing he is an 84 next update. Of course SDS does not show us changes to fielding and defense stats. If those got bumped then he would definitely have a better chance of being diamond. He plays a position where defense is weighted more heavily.

If they fix his position to 2B, what it should be, that would shoot him up alone though

Yeah, they have always been slow to change positions on batters. Curious what their criteria is. He has only played SS prior to this year so wonder if there are a set number of games he has to play at 2B to override the previous years SS time.

They did the same thing to Vlad too. He was actually listed as a 3B right up until he went diamond and got a POTM card last month.. and he played all 60 games last year at 1B.. hasn't been a 3B since '19.. and I wouldn't call him a 3B then either lol

I do believe they’ll actually get it right and make him Diamond, if anything the downgrade was premature
