Detroit Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias has long been a defensive bright spot for the team.
The shortstop has routinely posted positive numbers in a number of defensive, statistical categories including DRS, UZR and UZR/150.
While the Tigers used to rank as one of baseball’s worst fielding teams, Detroit has steadily improved.
Ian Kinsler and James McCann are plus defenders at their respective positions, while Miguel Cabrera, Justin Upton and J.D. Martinez are capable of turning in positive defensive years.
While Iglesias has stood out for his defense, his offense has also been a positive.
