A player does not have a visible rating at a position until he has played at least one game there or otherwise gained experience at the position.

The potential (maximum) rating is the value that they would reach if they gained full experience at the position.

	{{DISPLAYTITLE:{{SUBPAGENAME}}}}Players in OOTP have ~~four basic~~ defensive ratings~~: '''Range''', '''Error'''~~, ~~'''Arm''', and '''Turn Double Play''' that are used by the game engine to determine the outcome of a pitch or a ball in play. Defensive ratings are further broken down into three categories: '''~~infield~~''', '''outfield''',~~ and ~~'''~~catcher~~'''. Catchers have two additional ratings for '''Catcher Ability''' and '''Catcher Arm'''~~. Furthermore, players ~~receive~~ individual defensive ~~'''~~position ratings~~'''~~ for each position they are qualified to play~~. Unlike hitting and pitching ratings, defensive ratings do not have corresponding potential ratings~~. Defensive ratings can be seen on the Player Profile, the Ratings page, or in any list of players using the Fielding Ratings view.		{{DISPLAYTITLE:{{SUBPAGENAME}}}}Players in OOTP have separate defensive ratings for outfield positions, infield positions and catcher. Furthermore, players have individual defensive position ratings for each position they are qualified to play. Defensive ratings can be seen on the Player Profile, the Ratings page, or in any list of players using the Fielding Ratings view.

	===== ~~Infield / Outfield~~ Range =====		===== Range =====
	Range is a measure of how well a defensive player can reach a ball in play. Players with high Range ratings are more likely to reach a batted ball and potentially make an out. For example, a shortstop with good Range might reach a groundball to his right, whereas a shortstop with poor Range might not reach the ball, letting it go into left field for a single. Players have separate ratings for ~~infield~~ and ~~outfield range. These values can be fairly different, based on the player's experience~~.

Players have separate ratings for Infield and Outfield Range.

	===== ~~Infield / Outfield~~ Error =====		===== Error =====
	Error is a measure of how likely a defensive player is to commit an error. This rating includes both fielding errors (dropping or misplaying the ball) and throwing errors (pulling the first baseman off the bag, throwing inaccurately). The Error rating is inversely related to errors. That is, players with high Error ratings are ''less'' likely to commit errors. Players have separate ratings for ~~infield~~ and ~~outfield error. These values can be fairly different, based on the player's experience~~.		Error is a measure of how likely a defensive player is to commit an error.

This rating includes both arm strength and arm accuracy. Players with higher Arm ratings are more likely to throw out runners on a close play. Players have separate ratings for Infield and Outfield Arm.

	~~''Note:~~ Arm ~~is not strictly a measure of strength.

Rather, it implies~~ that ~~in the infield, his throws are strong, accurate, and timely. In the outfield, he is weaker, partly because of arm strength, but also because of experience, accuracy, hesitation, and so forth~~.''		For catchers, Arm affects the likelihood that the player will throw out a runner trying to steal, as well as the frequency that runners attempt to steal.

	===== Turn Double Play =====		===== Turn Double Play =====

Players with high Turn Double Play ratings are more likely to successfully turn double plays when given the opportunity.

	~~''Note: The Turn Double Play rating~~ is ~~not displayed by default in an outfielder~~'s ~~Player Profile~~.''		===== Blocking =====
			Blocking is a measure of a catcher's ability to block balls in the dirt. Players with higher Blocking will commit fewer passed balls.

	===== ~~Catcher Ability~~ =====		===== Framing =====
	~~Catcher Ability~~ is a measure of a catcher's ~~overall catching skill. Catcher Ability isn't truly a distinct rating. It is more of a composite number based~~ on ~~a combination~~ of the ~~player's defensive skills (arm, error, range)~~ and ~~his experience at the position~~.		Framing is a measure of a catcher's ability to get called strikes on pitches on the border of the strike zone. Catchers with higher Framing will end up getting more strikeouts and fewer walks for their pitchers.

	~~Catcher Arm~~ is a measure of a ~~catcher~~'s ~~arm~~. ~~Catchers with higher Catcher Arm are~~ more ~~likely to throw out runners stealing a base~~. ~~Catchers~~ with ~~high Catcher Arm~~ ratings ~~could also cause opposing managers to think twice before attempting a steal~~.

			===== Infield / Outfield Range =====
			Range is a measure of how well a defensive player can reach a ball in play. Players with high Range ratings are more likely to reach a batted ball and potentially make an out. For example, a shortstop with good Range might reach a groundball to his right, whereas a shortstop with poor Range might not reach the ball, letting it go into left field for a single. Players have separate ratings for infield and outfield range. These values can be fairly different, based on the player's experience.

			Error is a measure of how likely a defensive player is to commit an error. This rating includes both fielding errors (dropping or misplaying the ball) and throwing errors (pulling the first baseman off the bag, throwing inaccurately). The Error rating is inversely related to errors. That is, players with high Error ratings are ''less'' likely to commit errors. Players have separate ratings for infield and outfield error.

			===== Turn Double Play =====
			Turn Double Play is a measure of how well infielders, pitchers, and catchers can turn infield double plays. Players with high Turn Double Play ratings are more likely to successfully turn double plays when given the opportunity.

			''Note: The Turn Double Play rating is not displayed by default in an outfielder's Player Profile.''

			===== Catcher Ability =====
			Catcher Ability is a measure of a catcher's overall catching skill. Catcher Ability isn't truly a distinct rating. It is more of a composite number based on a combination of the player's defensive skills (arm, error, range) and his experience at the position.
