Oft-maligned, but always talked about. The hulking slugger Adam Dunn had a great career thanks to his power and plate discipline, but his defense was poor, which was exacerbated by the fact he played most of his career in the National League before the universal DH. • This video in particular is about 2009 Adam Dunn Nationals. In 2009, Adam Dunn put up -43 Defensive Runs Saved, the fielding metric powered by Sports Info Solutions. It's older than other fielding metrics from Statcast like Outs Above Average and its run equivalent, Fielding Run Value. Because of those -43 DRS, 2009 Adam Dunn ended up with a negative WAR aka Wins Above Replacement. • In this episode of Baseball Bits, a Foolish Baseball production, I conduct a film study using the ol' eye test to determine whether those -43 Defensive Runs Saved are even possible in modern MLB. Sure, he wasn't exactly known for his glove during his days with the Adam Dunn Reds, but -43 is impossible, right? You'll have to watch to find out. • ________________________________________________________ • Defensive Runs Saved FAQ: https://www.fieldingbible.com/faq • Secret Base on Adam Dunn: • Adam Dunn had the weirdest career in ... • Soundtrack from Maxo: • / maxoelectronic • https://maxoisnuts.bandcamp.com/
