Brice Turang is an elite defender, but why does StatCast dislike him?

At the time of recording, Brice Turang is a top 3 second baseman in Defensive Runs Saved, but a league average second baseman in StatCast's Fielding Run Value and Outs Above Average.
What gives? This video is to show you how Statcast's computers read defense into probabilities based on opportunity time and sprint speeds.
Sometimes the eye test doesn't match what the stats say, and that's okay!

Ooa is great for outfielders but I prefer drs for infielders. This video exemplified that perfectly.

Turang has done a complete 180 with the stick. Really impressive! He will be an all star in no time at this trajectory.

I was watching this video at the same time as the brewers game and Brice Turang just hit a grand slam. Nice coincidence. 😄

Only good players have this “problem”. Brice has turned his play around from being an above average defender to all around all star, in one year. This brewers team wouldn’t be where it is without him, period.

It sounds like this metric is throws a above average, not fielding

Because stat cast isn't a person who understands the complexities of baseball and has situational instincts. A stat will never be able to tell the whole story or take all the factors into accounts. Stats are just convenient for all the new score guys that don't know the guy but want to learn a little bit.

Bro breaking down stats is not baseball, it's baseball now days but it's really sad how individualized the game has becomes because there are a lot baseball situations and strategies that are getting lost in this stat bull shit
