The outfield position is pretty evenly distributed between OF-1 and OF-2 with slightly less outfielders getting the top OF-3 rating. Historically, third base has more players rated 3B-3 than any others combined. Cincinnati shortstop Kris Negron has that rating. There IS a player with the rare 3B-2, however. There is no top rated third baseman in the 2015 set. I left the zero by the 3B-6 there intentionally. I’m including those with a SS-9 rating so he won’t feel alone. RatingĪtlanta’s Andrelton Simmons is the lone wolf on the hill with a SS-10 rating. A total of eleven SS-9 or better in the MLB. The best secondbaseman in the majors… SecondbaseĪgain, a more even curve for the shortstops. The second base position sees a more even bell curve with 2B-7 getting a high number of the total secondbaseman. CatcherĪs typical with most years, 1B-2 tends to dominate not only because of second stringers but because designated hitters who tend to get the low fielding rating. None of these catchers corresponded with those with C-9 ratings. These were the top catchers in the 2015 set with a Catcher-9 rating. The interesting thing was that it was Colorado’s Wilin Rosario who was a starting catcher only a year ago. There was only one Catcher-5 in the 2015 set. Note: ratings noted are all positions listed on players not just their primary position.
I’ll take a look at the distribution of the defense ratings in the 2015 APBA baseball season and point out some of the highlights (and maybe some of the lowlights too!). On the heels of By the Numbers: Pitching, here is my submission for the defensive angle of the 2015 APBA baseball set.
