Exactly. His accuracy on throws is remarkable to me. He reminds me so much of Wil Clark. Dead ringers, but he needs to take that next step with the bat to make the comparison complete. And his positioning on the field is why his defensive metrics aren't better. His peers already recognize him as a + fielder.
