Seehafer: The Curious Case of Carlos Correa's Defense [Baseball Prospectus]

[Lucas Seehafer PT]

For those interested, I wrote about Carlos Correa's defensive metrics for BP and tried to get to the bottom of why his numbers were so...average?...last summer. Here's the link: https://www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article/79152/carlos-correa-defense-health/. (You should be able to read it for free a basic subscription, so all you need to do is enter an email.)

Defensive metrics aren't as solid as their offensive counterparts, but I think we're able to glean a little bit about Correa's defense from them. Basically, he's got a great arm and is a pretty solid defender going to his right, but struggles going to his left according to Outs Above Average. Also UZR has never liked him. It's an interesting case study, in my opinion, but I'm biased.
