I think defense is still one of the murky things in this game. I have a SS with 6/8 in all defensive ratings and yet leads the league in errors and has a -4 ZR. If the game is simulating being nervous in his first year in the bigs, then kudos to the devs. If my SS is simply a casualty of RNG and the in game calculator, oh well.
Overall ZR (called UZR in real life) is difficult because it is a stat that is created by an indivual using many other stats. Read more here at https://library.fangraphs.com/defense/uzr/.
