02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Fangio Two-High with Cover-6/8 and man principles is optimal for Poyer, maximizing his versatility as a split-safety and nickel defender.

Strong SafetyNickel DefenderDime SafetyCover-2 Safety
Best role

Year 1 contributor as a rotational safety and nickel back, eventually developing into a starting strong safety with versatile coverage responsibilities.

Wrong fit

Pure single-high safety systems that regularly ask their strong safety to play deep centerfield without leveraging his box-play instincts.

Poyer's combination of size, speed, and coverage intelligence makes him a valuable asset in complex, multi-look defensive schemes.
