[Sports Info Solutions] LaMonte Wade is the Defensive Runs Saved Leader at 1B
Can you guess who leads 1st basemen in Defensive Runs Saved this season?
It's LaMonte Wade Jr. of the Giants who is having a terrific season both with the bat and the glove. #SFGiants pic.twitter.com/zdmyfcdHF5

Hi- Mark Simon from Sports Info Solutions here (Dave and Jon quote me frequently on the broadcasts – we’re the folks who created Defensive Runs Saved and The Fielding Bible Awards)
Anyway, thought you’d like the stat in the tweet. I’ll throw in another one too: The combined efforts of Thairo Estrada and others have the Giants with the 3rd-most Runs Saved at 2nd Base
The right side of the Giants infield has combined for 14 Defensive Runs Saved – most in MLB
Happy to answer any questions about how these stats work if anyone wants to know more.
Friendly reminder that Wade cost us Shaun Anderson. Talk about winning the trade.
Kai Correa working his magic ✨
The improvement here is extremely impressive. I have to give them props, I figured 2023 Wade would be the mid-point of the 2021 and 2022 models, but he seems to be exceeding on both O and D….
Mr. 100!!
