That doesn't look like a top 1 or even top 5 in a 15 team league defense but it should be league average if that's really the group that's playing together the entire season.
ETA: ah, the SS didn't have experience at the position, so probably he was effectively like a 40 or something for a while. Hopefully he's trained up to be decent overall now. The game does a decent job at grading guys and IME 60 overall for SS/2B defense is where you should start looking for guys if you want a team that doesn't give up a lot of runs in the field.

Yeah with that 45 range and 80 arm, I'd say the guy has a howitzer when he can make a crazy throw in a crunch, but he doesn't necessarily have the ability to go after a play if the ball doesn't go straight at him ... if I'm understanding that rating correctly.
