2019
Jose Altuve had 49 Dps, or 57 per 1200 innings. Taking his ability to get to the ball into play he managed 74 DPs per every 600 chances (total chances, not DP chances). He was a pretty below average fielder across the board statistically n 2019 in my personal opinion. (He is 75/78 range/ Turn DP in game for 2019)

Yolmer Sanchez had a pretty good season for DPs in 2019. Ozzie Albies had more... but he played in a lot more innings as well. Yolmer avergaed 103 DPs per 1200 innings and 96 per 600 chances (Ozzie had 106 per 600 chances). (He is 59/64 range/ Turn DP in game for 2019)

Now, someone who just seemed terrible for 2019 was Eric Sogard. He had over 700 IPs fielded. He's a high ranged factor player so he gets a lot of chances... but only managed 53 DPs per 1200 innings and 58 per 600 chances. (He is 57/62 range/ Turn DP in game for 2019)

So, in real life we are looking at a spread of DPs between top and bottom STARTERS of just over 100 to the high 50s. In game even the low end starters have a 62/100 Turn DP. If you want to dip into players with far less play time you can find Tony Kemp at the bottom of the barrel where he averaged only 33 DPs per 1200 IPS (just over 200 IP at 2B). In game Tony Kemp has a Turn DP rating of 57.

No real point to the above numbers other than I found them interesting. I do, however, believe you can break any game when you start trying things in unintended ways. It's doubtful the game is balanced in any way for a 16/100 player (30 in the editor) to play 2nd. It would be nice to see that work better... but it's sort of a non issue to me since we're talking about a player with a 1 rating at 2B (Tony Kemp's rating when I edited him for 30 Range and Turn DP). Not knocking your concern... just adding in my 2 cent opinion since I bothered to make the post.
