The things that make her a great batter also make her a great centerfielder
She’s very athletic (and speedy, which is not always the same thing), has great hand-eye coordination, quick reflexes, and high softball IQ.
If she didn’t have all of these, I don’t think she makes the transition from SS to CF nearly as seamlessly as she did. Or hit .415 while going 11-11 on steals. I believe she was also error free in the field.
Not sure it relates much to formerly being a slap hitter, although it’s not a bad tool to keep on the belt.
We are very lucky to have her at VT.

This season I marveled at how well Addison Foster seemed to get on base

She didn't swing at too many bad pitches, had good patience, and good bat
