Five best plays
1. Aug. 12: Daniel Murphy lines out to Puig, who catches the ball on the warning track in deep right-center. This doesn't factor into the plus/minus system, but the play came with the bases loaded and two outs. He made this play look easy.
2. July 22: Puig jumps and crashes into the wall to rob J.P. Arencibia. Holy cow ... Puig was playing center field here. Look how far he ran. Look at the raw speed. And then the wall. Probably not the smartest play since the Dodgers were up 14-5 at the time.
3. June 23: Puig dives to catch a Pedro Ciriaco liner in the gap. Out of the way, Andre Ethier!
4. July 3: Puig catches a Nolan Arenado fly ball while crashing into the wall. This drew a visit from the training staff but he remained in the game.
5. Aug. 3: Puig robs Starlin Castro with a diving catch. As Dodgers announcer Charley Steiner said, "He's done it yet again."
These plays don't include any of the great throws Puig has made. Like this one or this one or this one from his first game. (Puig has seven assists, fourth among NL right fielders.)
Five worst plays
1. July 10: Cliff Pennington lines a ball that hits off Puig's glove.
2. Aug. 5: Fearing a collision with the wall, Puig pulls up, allowing a Carlos Beltran deep fly to drop.
3. Aug. 31: Puig gets turned around on Rene Rivera's fly ball that hits off the wall. (This was right before the second throw above, when Puig then threw out Rivera at home.)
4. June 24: Puig doesn't catch Buster Posey's fly ball at the wall.
5. Aug. 9: Jerry Hairston and Puig let Wil Myers' pop fly drop.
Now, those are plays Puig failed to make, which are different from the errors (he has made four) or throws to the wrong base or missing cutoff guys.
Puig's positives vastly outweigh negatives
