  • Jacob Wilson might have lost Diamond Status but they Jacked up his Fielding (+22) so that he stayed an 85
  • Bellinger might have lost Diamond Status but they Upped his Arm attribute by 12 to keep him as a Diamond.
  • Bryce Harper might have lost Diamond Status but they gave him a +33 to his ARM to keep him a Diamond.
  • Matt Olson stayed the same (83) but probably would have dropped without a +23 to his ARM
  • Vlad Jr dropped to Gold but would have dropped more if not for +15 fielding
  • Max Muncy jumped from 80 to 82 on the basis of huge fielding (+17) and Reac F (+24) attributes
  • Pete Alonso went from a 80 to 81 thanks to massive fielding boosts
  • Jonathon Aranda Snuck into gold thanks to +15 to his Arm
  • Zach Neto stayed a gold thanks to +11 ARM upgrade
  • Luis Arraez jumped 4 thanks to a +48 Fielding, +29 Reac F and +31 Reac R
  • Manny Machado climbed back to gold with the Help of Fielding Upgrades (+19 FLD)

    • Out of the 65 Position players who got updates and ended up at an 80 OVR or above those are the only ones that got any fielding updates from what I see on the web page version of the Roster Update.

    You gotta love Huge Arm Boosts for first basemen!

    Only 20% of the players got any fielding or speed updates at all so it was not really the Fielding Roster Update that we have gotten in the past.

    At the top it definitely seems like they cherry picked who would get those updates.

    Yeah it seems like it with Harper, because how can you judge arm with a 1B. but Harper is at .270 and on pace for 35+HR. and generally does well down the stretch.

    Harper was actually a borderline case

    CON R (+3)
    Con L (-20)
    POW R (+12)
    POW L (-12)
    CLT (+10)

    So plus 15 in Vs R Attributes
    But minus 32 in Vs L attributes
    +10 in Contact

    Wait, so 85 is the maximum overall for golds? Always thought it was 84.

    84 is a gold
    85 is a Diamond

    Jacob Wilson got downgrades to

    Con R (-2)
    Con L (-7)
    Vis (-1)
    CLT (-5)

    You would think that would have dropped him out of diamond but then they gave him

    +22 to FLD
    +10 to REAC R
    +20 to REAC B
