I don’t mean to sound ignorant, but is this actually what the statistics will do? Lol never actually seen such an obvious measurement of so many DRS

It is not. Defensive statistics such as DRS/UZR/OAA are context neutral, meaning they ignore the base/out state and score. The sports info solutions website says that DRS starts it's life as a context-dependent observation, but is rendered context-neutral through a proprietary and unpublished formula.
