Thanks for doing this! When I was looking through the ratings for the Astros I was shocked to see Correa's speed rating as low as it was.

I felt Baez was too slow as well hopefully they boost him and I think they only gave him only an 80 in fielding dude prob one of or the fastest tagger In MLB

Baez should have one of the best defensive ratings among 2B he was #6 in DWar among all infielders and top at 2B and still SCEA gave him avg D, he's as fluid as Cano at 2B but more athletic and nobody is as quick tagging people.

Didi is a slightly below avg runner, like Iglesias he's an above avg defender thanks to his hands, arm, instincts and quick first step, the 62 SCEA gave him it's not that bad he doesn't impact the game with his speed.

Yea I think they're trying too water him down for whatever reason. Dude is rated an 81 if they rate him correctly he prob be like an 83- 85 .

I think this is a great idea. Speed and defense are the two areas I feel are not quite rated properly each year. Would anyone be interested in defensive ratings as well, per Statcast, scouting reports, and advanced fielding metrics? Arm strength especially is way off for a number of players.

I'm happy to help with this, since I spend loads of time on Fangraphs and have already found numerous articles on fielding/throwing Statcast data.
