Terrific all-around player. Zobrist gets on base, hits for power, he’s a good baserunner (although he doesn’t steal many bases, but he gets his extra bases) and plays three different positions and plays them all well.
Interesting, I always considered Zobrist to be pretty boring but looking over his stats I was really underrating him.
That’s why he gets overlooked; he’s boring.
Players who do everything really well tend to be underrated; players who do one or two things exceptionally well tend to be overrated. It’s not universal but it’s generally true.
