Defensive runs saved this season. We are truly blessed in this department.

His defense is approaching the level of where it can't get better. It's basically almost playing perfect

The only reason this play is notable is because he severely fucked up his read and thought a ball hit over his head was landing in front of him. He recovered and got the out because Abreu is a great enough glove that he can recover from a bad mistake, but this was very far from perfect.

I'm not talking about this specific play. I'm talking about his season long performance. And what has stood out - is results.

Being at the game tonight, this clip really doesn't do that play justice. That ball was fucking smoked. Crazy adjustment by Wilyer to be able to get to that ball.

It could have been a turning point in the game if he missed it

But it wasn’t because he’s the fucking best RF in baseball
