Measures how good of a jump outfielders get.
No surprise that Ender has rated very well here since he's been a top defender with pedestrian sprint speed for a CF. He has really excelled in his reaction time which is down this year and is likely what's dragging his defense numbers down. I suspect his back is the reason for this.
To add to this: I really wish we had this data available when Andruw played.
