His 53 Edge lands in the 86th percentile and ranks 91st among catchers.

Stick Profile

Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Salvador Perez's 86 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports his current output. It also places him in the 90th percentile and ranks 78th among catchers.

Skill Profile

Carry Profile

Carry places Skill in the context of the roster around a player. The strongest rated teammates are Bobby Witt Jr. at 153, Jac Caglianone at 131, and Michael Wacha at 122. Salvador Perez has contributed about as much as his own Skill suggests, resulting in a Carry of 70.

LI Profile

CE Profile

CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. Salvador Perez is under control for 2 seasons at a $12.5 million annual salary, with about $25 million remaining. His 70 CE marks the contract as a substantial drag on his value, placing him in the 1st percentile and 807th among catchers.

His -7 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 3rd percentile and ranks 805th among catchers. Salvador Perez carries negative value, so a trade may require salary relief, a smaller return, or another asset.
