He has over 10 runs saved above any other defenders. Is lightening fast on the bases and in the field, but doesn't steal a lot. Has a cannon of an arm and most of the time very accurate and has lower stats in most defensive areas then Desmond Jennings in the game and is only rated a 74 speed. He's faster then guys like Trout as well. This part of the game is very frustrating for me, because I'm not a great hitter and I look for guys that can play great defense. He's one I want to use, but there's no point because there are way better options based on the game.
