The defensive position adjustment value is a value for adjusting the difference in difficulty level for each defensive position. It is a guideline for 143 games (1287 innings), and it fluctuates little by little every year. If a player plays 600 innings as a left fielder in 2021, the adjustment will be -0.83 / 1287 * 858 = -0.55. If a player plays in multiple positions, add the respective adjustments.
