Steve Finley

To help out with a study comparing my probabilistic model of range to MGL's UZR, here's Steve Finely broken down by field slice and by batted ball type (in the field slice, C would be the third base line and X would be first base. MN is straight away center field):

Looks to me like Finley does not move well laterally.
