Well, it's good for evaluating and ranking baseball players! The top-five according to FanGraphs:
|
Player |
Team |
WAR |
|
Tor |
4.5 |
|
|
Adrian Gonzalez |
Bos |
4.4 |
|
Jose Reyes |
NYM |
4.2 |
|
Matt Kemp |
LAD |
4.2 |
|
Andrew McCutchen |
Pit |
4.0 |
And McCutchen has yet to reach his peak seasons, unlike the other players on this list, who already are in their peak seasons! More important still is his defensive play. The top-five centerfielders according to FanGraphs:
|
Player |
Team |
UZR |
|
Denard Span |
MN |
10.2 |
|
Shane Victorino |
Phi |
8.0 |
|
Andrew McCutchen |
Pit |
6.5 |
|
Carlos Gomez |
Mil |
6.1 |
|
Cameron Maybin |
SD |
3.3 |
What's amazing about McCutchen's defense is he's likely the third best centerfielder in the Pirates system. Gorky Hernandez and Starling Marte might be better than Cutch!
