Perspective Matters
Baseball is hard. Every good outfielder in the world has made mistakes. Funny how some people only notice errors and never the countless plays made the rest of the season.
Calling any college player “the worst” is a joke and says more about the person posting it than the player himself. Anyone who truly knows baseball understands the game is built on failure, adjustments, and growth. Even big leaguers make mistakes.
And if you actually played outfield or understand the game, you’d know coaches position outfielders based on scouting reports, hitters, counts, situations, and team strategy. Not every ball hit is simply “the outfielder messed up.” But that nuance usually gets missed by people looking for someone to blame.

Yep, infield D is excellent while our outfield D is bad to atrocious.
