The defensive metrics tell me that Nick Markakis is a below average defender in right field. These biased, orange tinted eyes say otherwise.

Markakis made this running, diving catch on a flare off the bat of Mike Napoli in the bottom of the second on Tuesday night in Boston. What’s below average about that?
