Now, I'm going to to do the run conversion for center fielders. Table 1 below contains the following information for 22 MLB center fielders with 800 or more innings in 2012:
- Inn = Innings
- RZR = Revised Zone Rating
- OOZ = Out-of-Zone Plays
- PIZAA = Plays in Zone Above Average
- OOZAA = Out-of-Zone Plays Above Average
- PMAA = Total Plays Above Average
- RSAA = Runs Saved Above Average
Tigers center fielder Austin Jackson tied for third with Angel Pagan of the Giants with +17 RSAA. Jackson was only +4 plays over average in the center field zone, but was +17 outside the zone. He also rated well well on Defensive Runs Saved (+5) and Baseball Prospectus' Fielding Runs Above Average (+9).
