During the offseason, I wrote about the Rockies’ outfield challenges. To summarize, I looked at slashlines and DRS and concluded that the Rockies’ production was lagging and that they needed to make a change. I recommended signing A.J. Pollock.
I wanted to return to that article and see how the Rockies are faring in terms of outfield defense given their 2019 adjustments. That said, I have become increasingly fascinated by Baseball Savant (a gorgeous, data-filled site), so I decided to see how the Rockies’ outfield compared as measured by catch probability and Outs Above Average (OAA).
