With the off-day yesterday I have nothing great to discuss. Instead, I want to think about something that is indicated by Laserjax In the daily questions from yesterday. Here is the core.
Not really the kind of things you would notice if it is somewhat weird. But then, by LaserjaxWe look at Michael Harris II, and, uh … frv = +4; Defensive value above average = -0.2. What?
This problem is also not limited to this year. In each of 2022, 2023 and 2024 he finished with +8 FRV (Khris Davis-like). His defensive values above average in those seasons are +4.1, +3.2 and +3.9. There is a strange consistent difference with four run.
Pete-Crow Armstrong has a crazy good year. He was at +16 FRV last year and is at +19 this year. Are defensive value above average? +11.9 Last year and +14.8 this year.
To make a long story short, I withdrew all FRV and defensive value data for everyone from 2023-2025. There is a file that I can share. Cans, the boys who are most struck in terms of value lower than proposed by FRV are Julio Rodriguez, Jackson Merrill, Jacob Young, Trent Grisham, Harris, you get the idea. And this “gorge” is unidirectional – the middle field players lose ~ 4 points/season, but nobody wins 4 points/season that I can see.
I know, I know: “Why e -mail you not just fangraphs about it?” Because it feels weird. And I’m tired. And when I start writing that e -mail, I start to feel like Abe Simpson who asks the president to eliminate two states. “I’m not a crank” is not explicit, but it doesn’t have to be the case.
I usually hope that someone will find out in the comments. As if it is a kind of adjustment to the redistribution value of Centrumfielers because of some grill in oaa, but I can’t find documentation about it, so I’m not sure.
