What Statcast’s new defensive metric thinks of the Phillies infield

Baseball will never run out of things to measure. As technology continues to improve and things with radar and motion tracking continue to proliferate, there’s no telling what sorts of things we might have leaderboards on by 2030.

Now, in the present day, we already have a ton of numbers. It’s important to use discretion when presented with player stats, as all of them aren’t always relevant, nor are they always reliable. Your eyes can be just as important as the numbers when coming to a conclusion about a play, player, or team.

That said...man, these stats can be fun.
