But to my eye test he has looked quite mediocre in the field. His UZR and DEF backs this observation up. It’s kind of disappointing because he’s never going to be an all star with his bat, the best he can hope for is solid-average, so he needs to have great defense in order to be valuable, and he really hasn’t showcased that he has that.

Granted, he’s a 22 year old playing in the MLB so that’s not nothing and maybe he needs time to adjust still, but defensive skills tend to trend downward, not upward.
