The Rockies infield and DRS

Coors Field inflates offensive stats. Coors Field deflates pitching stats. If you’ve come this far then likely already you know that. It’s also been discussed and shown multiple times how Coors also hurts outfield defensive metrics. So, the law of averages would suggest that it may help the defensive metrics of infielders. Specifically, let’s take a look at defensive runs saved (DRS).

Last year, Ryan McMahon led the entire league in DRS with 22 runs saved over 1200-plus innings. Josh Fuentes had an even better rate, saving 11 runs in just under 600 innings.
