He played in 47 games for Pittsburgh at second base and 61 at third base and also saw playing time at shortstop, right field and first base. Overall, he finished the season with six defensive runs saved and three outs above average across his 125 games played.
The Pirates' utility man did his best work at second base, as he had a .995 fielding percentage and only had one error at the position. At third base, he boasted a .985 fielding percentage across his 527 innings played there and only made two errors.
