Only Steve knows what they all are. There are only a few that we have confidence in. The three I believe are almost certain are:

Base stealing aggressiveness - how frequently he attempts to steal
GB/FB ratio - how often the batter/pitcher keeps the ball on the ground
vLHP/vRHP splits - how skewed a batter/pitcher's performance is against opposing handedness

Other traits people have hypothesized, but have less evidence:

Durability - how often they get injured
Cold Months - Specific Months or parts of the season where a player typically performs more hot/cold
