Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman's defensive numbers look a lot like Aaron Judge's offensive numbers from the early part of the season: otherworldly.
The Athletics rookie has 18 defensive runs saved in only 55 games, a pace not dissimilar to Judge's early-season home run pace. Chapman has already weaved his way to the second-highest runs saved total at the position, trailing only Nolan Arenado, who has played over 600 innings more than Chapman.
How has Chapman done this? He has excelled at getting to the ball down the third-base line.
