@yankblan_psn said in Tatis Jr fielding:
Cover athlete; same with Baez last year; they kept him 85 all year and he started gold this year. Expect Tatis’ defense to be around silver/gold next year.
Yeah defense has always been the thing they most clearly manipulate to get a player at the overall level the want. I remember last year when Luis Robert was hitting like .160 they had his defense up at like a 96 to keep him a gold overall. Judge is another one. They gave him a 99 fielding even though advanced metrics show him to be a below average fielder.
