The league average for each of the seven traits of fielding is fixed at 50, with one standard deviation equal to 20 points. This means that a player with a trait value of 70 is in the top 16% in the league.

A player's name in gray means the player received less than 3 votes. A player's name in red received less than 6 votes.

The higher the agreement level, the more that the fans agreed with each other in the balloting. The league average is .71. The league low is around .40.
