Innings Played (INN)
Definition
Innings played is a defensive statistic determined by counting the number of outs during which a player is in the field and dividing by three.
Innings played is often used by voters to delineate players who have played enough at a given position to consider merit for defensive awards, specifically Gold Gloves. However, it is not used as the qualifying metric for the fielding percentage leaderboards. Instead, the total games played at a position are used for determining whether a defensive player qualifies as a fielding percentage leader.
Still, innings played defensively can be a valuable sorting tool for defensive statistical searches.

Fielding Percentage (FPCT)
Definition
Fielding percentage answers the question: How often does a fielder or team make the play when tasked with fielding a batted ball, throwing a ball, or receiving a thrown ball for an out. The formula is simple: the total number of putouts and assists by a defender, divided by the total number of chances (putouts, assists and errors).
The league's lowest fielding percentages typically come from shortstops and third basemen, who must deal with a wide array of tricky ground balls and tough throws across the diamond. Conversely, catchers, first basemen and outfielders often have the highest fielding percentages because of the ease of the plays they have to make.

Error (E)
Definition
A fielder is given an error if, in the judgment of the official scorer, he fails to convert an out on a play that an average fielder should have made. Fielders can also be given errors if they make a poor play that allows one or more runners to advance on the bases. A batter does not necessarily need to reach base for a fielder to be given an error. If he drops a foul ball that extends an at-bat, that fielder can also be assessed an error.
Defensive errors are a factor in some statistical equations. For instance, batters do not receive RBIs for any runs that would not have scored without the help of an error. And pitchers are not assessed any earned runs for runs that would not have scored without the error.
The league leaders in errors are typically shortstops and third basemen, who have to deal with a wide array of tricky ground balls and tough throws across the diamond. There is no classification of errors either. So a shortstop who makes a nice play on a ball but throws it away, allowing the batter to advance to second, is given an error, much in the same way an outfielder would be if he dropped an easy fly ball.

Double Play (DP)
A double play occurs when two offensive players are ruled out within the same play. It's often referred to as "a pitcher's best friend" because it's twice as helpful toward his cause as any given out.
Double plays can be made in any number of ways, but the most common form is on a ground ball with a runner on first. In this case, the defense typically throws the ball to second base to get the first out before throwing the ball to first base for the second out.
A double play can be recorded on a flyout if a fielder throws out a runner who strayed off his base or was trying to advance. Double plays also don't necessarily need to feature a force out at second. If the defense gets the out at first base, then tags another runner out on the bases, that counts as a double play as well.
Pitchers who record the highest number of double plays typically induce a high frequency of ground balls. And defenses that are adept at turning double plays generally have two very good middle infielders who are skilled at both starting the double play and at making a quick catch and throw from second base.
