Does this badge do anything or is it just a way to tell if a player is a good defender or not in game?
A guy could have silver or gold defense overall on their card, but if their "fielding" part of the defense is 90 or higher they will have the diamond blue shield on field. So to answer your question, it only shows you how good their fielding is, not their arm, arm accuracy or reaction.
So that also means a defender can have a diamond arm, arm accuracy and reaction, but if they have a 68 fielding rating then they will have a bronze badge on field underneath them.
