Shared from Twitter: SABR Defensive Index: September 13, 2015 | SABR


It was good to see Brandon Crawford recognized, correctly IMO, as the best SS glove in the NL. 

I don't doubt his development with the bat may have helped, but the stat community has correctly recognized his work for some time now.
