About these ratings
Tool ratings combine recorded performance with statistical estimates. Speed, arm, and fielding include outcome-based estimates rather than direct physical measurements.
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

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 92, Stick of 132, and Carry of 98, Fernando Cruz sits in the 66th percentile, 96th percentile, and 71st percentile in those areas. His 111 Edge lands in the 83rd percentile and ranks 47th among relief pitchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Fernando Cruz's 132 Stick suggests he is performing far below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 96th percentile and ranks 25th among relief pitchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Fernando Cruz's contributions to every team he played for. His 92 Perf is below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 66th percentile and ranks 131st 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 +2.6, defense +0.2. The strongest rated teammates are Cam Schlittler at 165, Cody Bellinger at 141, and Ben Rice at 133. Fernando Cruz has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 98.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 36, Fernando Cruz 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 3443rd among relief pitchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 3 seasons control horizon, $1.5 million average annual value, and about $1.5 million in contract-scenario costs for Fernando Cruz. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 142 CE shows that the club is receiving far more value than the contract costs, placing him in the 99th percentile and 12th among relief pitchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Fernando Cruz's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +10 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 68th percentile and ranks 687th among relief pitchers. Fernando Cruz carries clear positive value and should return a useful major league piece or prospect package.
