The Brendan Ryan Effect

We all know Brendan Ryan is good at defense. The advanced metrics tell us that and our eyes agree. Where does he really gain his value though? Is it going up the middle? In the hole? Something else? In an attempt to gain insight on that I created the following chart. It has hit angle along the bottom and out rate along the vertical axis. The far left of the chart (~ -30) can be thought of as deep in the hole, while 0 would be up the middle.
