He was really bad in CF last year, really. He doesn't take charge like your'e supposed to in CF. Maybe that changes with growing up and getting experience out there, but he's really not the CF defensively people make him out to be. There were plenty of plays he should've had that he didn't, and he's notorious for missing the cutoff man. He can gun guys down for sure, but sometimes it's better off to just play it safe, especially when there's a runner behind the base he's throwing to.
