Marcus Semien, a two-time Gold Glove winner, has seen his defensive skills decline significantly with the New York Mets, evidenced by an Outs Above Average (OAA) of -7, making him the team’s worst defender. At age 35, his range and speed have diminished, compounded by a Grade 3 hip strain that sidelined him in late June. In 2025, he made only two errors in 127 games with the Texas Rangers, but this season he committed six errors before his injury. His struggles stem from defensive errors and rushed throws.
