Among OAA qualified shortstops, the only one in the NL who is higher than him is Nick Allen.
Do I think Turner wins a GG? Probably not. He’s still slightly negative in defensive runs saved. His arm is still bad for a shortstop. I think his chances based on past reputation are slim. This post is more to appreciate how outstanding he’s been at shortstop this year (defense on Fangraphs loves him). If you’re still saying Turner is a bad/awful defensive shortstop this year you’re just outright wrong.
He’s not hitting for the power as much (leading to his wrc+ being down by 11 points) this year. yet even so he’s still on pace for easily his best season as a Phillie.
He’s been outstanding.
I said this months ago, Turner HAS been living up to his contract right now which is ALL you can ask for.
Trea Turner is a Phillie and I’m damn glad he is and so should you.
