About these ratings
Tool ratings combine recorded performance with statistical estimates. Speed, arm, and fielding include outcome-based estimates rather than direct physical measurements.
Limited MLB evidence: 87.9% MLB and 12.1% level-adjusted minor-league estimate.
Minor-league estimate: 1.5% observed statistical weight and 98.5% historical peer baseline; individual tools use their own sample weights.
CE estimate: Annual cost for 2027 is estimated from incomplete terms. Annual club costs do not reconcile with the reported obligation.
CE assumption: Future club options are modeled as exercise scenarios.
* On NTV, this indicates estimated or unverified inputs. CE uses an asterisk only when current contract information is unavailable.
CE uses the best available contract information, including partial terms, estimated salaries, and projected team control. CE shows an asterisk only when current contract information is unavailable; free agents without a current agreement use 100*.
2026 win contribution
1.56 Player Wins · 0.81 expected from replacement · 0.75 wins above replacement
Includes contributions to every team played for in 2026. Perf expresses wins above replacement on a scale where 100 is average. How the win totals reconcile
Six-tool graphs show percentiles from available performance evidence. Speed uses baserunning outcomes; Arm uses position-adjusted throwing outcomes. Movement describes tracked pitch movement within pitch type. Minor-league comparisons account for competition level; unavailable measurements display MD.
Edge Profile
Edge combines Perf, Stick, and Carry to show how valuable a player is right now. With a Perf of 95, Stick of 104, and Carry of 97, Kenley Jansen sits in the 71st percentile, 75th percentile, and 69th percentile in those areas. His 93 Edge lands in the 68th percentile and ranks 132nd among relief pitchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Kenley Jansen's 104 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 75th percentile and ranks 189th among relief pitchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Kenley Jansen's contributions to every team he played for. His 95 Perf is around average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 71st percentile and ranks 107th among relief pitchers.
Carry Profile
Carry places Perf in the context of the roster around a player and includes a bounded clutch adjustment for offense, pitching, and defense when available. Close games and later innings earn more weight, and difficult defensive plays receive their own credit. His clutch runs are offense +0.0, pitching -1.2, defense +0.0. The strongest rated teammates are Kevin McGonigle at 142, Dillon Dingler at 119, and Keider Montero at 118. Kenley Jansen has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 97.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 39, Kenley Jansen carries a 88 LI, which points to a shorter or less certain window due to role, age, or pitching risk. That places him in the 1st percentile and ranks 3448th among relief pitchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 2 seasons control horizon, $11 million average annual value, and about $20 million in contract-scenario costs for Kenley Jansen. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 95 CE is close to a fair exchange between salary and production, placing him in the 1st percentile and 3457th among relief pitchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Kenley Jansen's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His -7* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 1st percentile and ranks 3452nd among relief pitchers. Kenley Jansen carries negative value, so a trade may require salary relief, a smaller return, or another asset.
