Fielding

Official Fielding Run Value, Gold Glove Watch, Play of the Day, and adjusted runner-advancement prevention.

The other half of run prevention

Turn every defensive play into a decision

Range converts the ball in play. The arm changes the runner’s choice. The catcher controls strikes, blocks, and throws. The Fielding Engine keeps those skills separate, then presents them as a game-day story, a season leaderboard, and a matchup tool.

Fielding Engine v1

Defense, down to every play

Official Statcast Fielding Run Value anchors the public board. SABRhood development models add credited batted-ball opportunities and runner-advancement prevention without presenting those estimates as official tracking metrics.

Play of the Day

Rece Hinds

Rece Hinds converted a 31% estimated-out opportunity and added 0.08 estimated advancement runs saved.

Defensive alignment

The All-MLB Defense Team

Official Fielding Run Value selects every covered position. Pitchers use a separately labeled SABRhood play-context estimate because the official source does not supply compatible pitcher FRV.

Eight gloves, one field. Selections use official Fielding Run Value with a playing-time adjustment.

The best defenders at every position

Each position gets its own qualified leaderboard, so catcher value is not compared directly with center-field range or shortstop conversion.

Runner-advancement prevention

Who keeps a runner from taking third on a single, scoring from second, or moving on an out after adjusting for runner, base state, contact, outs, inning, and score.
