Carlos Gomez proving my point about how difficult it is to get accurate defensive metrics on outfielders. 2 deep drives , certainly covered a lot of ground using his speed to get to one but not hang onto it. The other one ,by Dunn, had to be curving away from him so, though Gomez is fast, might have got a decent jump but might not have anticipated or prepared for Dunn hitting it to left of center . So his route looked bad. No errors given but there's no way to know how many outfielders would have caught none , one or both of those balls.

 

Those things eventually even out, which is why sample size is important for defensive metrics.

 

But Gomez has a hell of a lot more range than the average center fielder, so I'd assume most CFers don't make those plays.
