I guess fielding and base running help him a lot, but he only has 31 stolen bases and has been caught 7 times. I'm not sure about how he does with taking extra bases. I guess being a good centerfielder helps.
Any thoughts on why he is so high in WAR?

Yeah, he leads the NL in dWAR with 2.5
And he has a ton of extra base hits--28 HRs, 34 doubles, and 4 triples. Kind of the complete package.
He's somehow also only grounded into 1 double play. Contrast that with Soto, who is also having a monster year, but has 16 GIDPs
