Statcast Lab: Fielder Roles
?As we know, in this day and age where Javy Baez can play anywhere on the field, even pitch to pitch, the designation of "2B" and "3B" is not very helpful, analytically. And it is especially not helpful when an infielder is part of a 4-man outfield, yet maintains his infielder designation. I generate a warning report when an infielder makes a putout deep in the outfield... only to find that it might be Kris Bryant who officially maintained his 3B position. His ROLE however was quite different.
So as to maintain some semblance of continuity with the 1-9 position designation we've come to know and love, but to enhance it to make use of how the players are placed, we are working to create ROLES. This is a first pass.
