I don't understand

Posted By Garth

What measurement is it that drives down his range? What is it that tells PB that Hunter has poor range? He got to more balls than did Finley, and I thought the Zone rating was a measure of the percentage of balls hit to his area that a guy gets to. Is there some other stat that measures range?

This issue came in last Spring re Minky; but in that case the stats showed that he gets to fewer balls despite his reputation. But with Hunter, I'm missing something. Were there really so many hits to baggy-dome CF that a very-low range Hunter caught more balls than great-range Finley?

I'm not arguing here; in fact I find the analyses in PB facinating. That's why I'm asking.
