Pretty sure he started as about 35/40/45 or something like that. He definitely starts out as a poor fielder (-7.1 ZR in the 2024 year of my sim), so I'm not sure that is the issue.
I've also trained Wyatt Langford to be a 2 time reigning Gold Glover which really nobody sees as possible in real life. Defense is one of the biggest weaknesses in his game.
It's not like a game breaking issue or anything so far (especially because you could just not do it, and you have to sacrifice other development to do so), but anyone not playing CF/SS/C basically doesn't need to worry about defense to start out if they don't want. By the time a draftee makes it to MLB they could be like 20+ points better in all the defensive categories.
