In Barry Larkin’s first full season he committed 19 errors. In his second full season, he led the NL with 29 errors. I think we all just need to slow our collective roll.
Error leaders by season since 2021 include Gunnar Henderson, Trea Turner, Javier Baez (x3), Ryan McMahon, and Bo Bichette
Notice how a lot of those guys are considered great-to-elite defenders? It’s not a meaningless stat but it certainly doesn’t tell close to the whole story either
