Rookie Ball Errors by Position

I realized the other day I never finished my series of errors by position at each minor league level. I've done a post for every level above rookie ball and you can find those here: AAA errors by position, AA errors by position posts, A+ errors by position, A errors by position, and A- errors by position. There are four leagues at the rookie level: the Appalachian League, Arizona League, Gulf Coast League, and Pioneer League. Arizona League and Gulf Coast League teams generally play at their parent organization's spring training complexes, while the other leagues are based in different regions. The Pioneer League plays around 76 games, the Appalachian League plays around 66 games, the Gulf Coast League plays 58 games, and the Arizona League plays 56 games. Some franchises, including the Brewers and Dodgers, have an affiliate in more than one of these four leagues.

Cameron Robulack had a rough go of things at first base last year. You'll probably notice this as time goes on, but the AZL Brewers really struggled on defense. Speaking of Milwaukee, the Brewers are the first organization in this post to have players from two affiliates show up in the same table.

Once again the AZL & GCL feature more errors than the other leagues. Ted Obregon is the first player in this post to field below .900 as well as the first with 20+ errors. Once again two Brewers from two affiliates show up in the same table. It must be an organizational thing.

Third base and shortstop usually feature the worst fielding percentages and this level is no different. The first 30+ errors player appears here (spoiler: he won't be the last). So do the first two sub-.800 fielding percentage guys. Despite those two, the rookie league third basemen collectively outfielded their low A counterparts by 5 points.

Reynaldo Navarro's error total is eye-catching, but he had 100 more total chances than anyone else at the rookie level. Carlos George and his teammate Luis Sanchez had an awful time at shortstop for the AZL Brewers. Overall, the Arizona League was more error-prone than the other leagues.

Billings must have had a pretty crazy outfield last season. Obviously Tony Brown is the only qualifying player with a sub-.900 fielding percentage, but his teammate Byron Wiley is right up there on the leaderboard with him. Surprisingly, the AZL & GCL are on opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to league fielding by outfielders.

A- Errors By Position

It's time for another installment of minor league error leaders. I've already done similar posts for higher levels of minor league baseball: AAA errors by position, AA errors by position posts, A+ errors by position, and A errors by position. Today’s post is about Low A (or Short-Season A) baseball. There are only two leagues at this level: the Northwest League and the New York-Penn League. The Northwest League plays a 76-game schedule and the New York-Penn League plays a similar number of games. These leagues are intended to allow teams to break in college draftees judged too experienced for rookie level leagues while also providing a place for players stuck in between rookie ball and regular A ball. Not every major league organization has a team in Low A ball as the two leagues combined have only 22 teams. The organizations not represented are Atlanta, Chicago (AL), Cincinnati, Kansas City, Los Angeles (AL & NL), Milwaukee, and Minnesota.

Since these leagues play only about half as many games as the other levels covered so far, I've adjusted the minimum chances needed for the fielding percentage list. It's hard to tell with pitchers since their threshold was set so low anyway, but it'll become more apparent at other positions. It's a little strange that no pitcher stood out as worse than the rest, though Eduin Ciriaco didn't have a great year with the glove.

Now you can probably tell about the total chances minimum being adjusted downward. Both leagues have the same fielding percentage at catcher. I don't think that's happened at any other level so far. Note that there are two different Tri-Citys. I've noted their league in parentheses.

This really underscores how out there Ryan Adam's 46 errors in A ball are. Nunez's 14 errors in A- ball came in only half the number of chances it took Ryan Adams to reach 46 errors. I expected error rates to get worse as levels descended, but Adams' terrible season broke up the pattern. Also worth noting is that playing time seems spread out more among players - not many players spend an overwhelming majority of their teams' games at one position. Whether that's because teams are encouraging versatility or want to get a better look at their roster, I'm not sure, but it's how more than one player on a team can show up on the list at the same position.

A- 3B			4630	520	.888

Those are some ugly fielding percentages. Both leagues are the same once again, but I don't think they'll be bragging anytime soon. Rodney Rutherford, half of Vancouver's duo of disaster at the hot corner, just missed becoming the first position player to make the list with a fielding percentage below .800.

Shortstops in the two short-season leagues had an easier time of it than did their brethren at the hot corner. Obviously they managed to cumulatively field in the .900's. You might recognize Domnit Bolivar's name from the third baseman list in the A ball post. He committed 23 errors at the hot corner for Quad Cities in the Midwest League. His 10 errors for Batavia took place in only 25 games.

Thanks to the abbreviated season, the outfielder with the most errors didn't even crack double digits. Brian Van Kirk did his part in making sure the Auburn outfield was a treat for Toronto pitching prospects to pitch in front of. Overall, though, outfielders did about as well in A- ball as their comrades a level up in A ball.
