MLB The Show 16 Player Ratings - Top Players at Each Position

[Denzel Washington]

I hope we can all agree that the way defensive ratings are handled is backwards. There's no reason Lindor shouldn't have better defense than tulowitzki

[p00p1]

Lindor's fielding% was .974, Tulo has only had 1 season where it was lower than that and only 2 seasons where he's made as many errors (10) as Lindor did. He also has 2 Gold Gloves, you should find a different SS to compare.

Tulo's GG seasons won't be reflected in Show 16. And you can dismiss fielding % too, since that includes throwing errors.


EDIT I think a more likely explanation is Lindor's smaller sample size.

Derek Jeter won a lot of gold gloves too

Measuring defense by fielding percentage is so archaic. Terrible statistic that has no real bearing. Defense is not something that ages well period. Lindor is a better defender than Tulowitzki at this point in their respective careers and that really shouldnt be debatable,

He is the perfect SS to compare him to.

They can get input from scouting and maybe reach out to the MLB and gain some access to their data that's not widely available.

I wouldn't have as much of an issue if they updated defense in player updates but they hardly ever did that

Tulo's last 3 seasons defensively DWAR 1.2, 1.3, 1.2

Lindor in 2015 DWAR 1.7
