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
3.65 Player Wins · 2.75 expected from replacement · 0.90 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 97, Stick of 123, and Carry of 99, Gerrit Cole sits in the 74th percentile, 93rd percentile, and 72nd percentile in those areas. His 114 Edge lands in the 85th percentile and ranks 47th among starting pitchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Gerrit Cole's 123 Stick suggests he is performing far below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 93rd percentile and ranks 26th among starting pitchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Gerrit Cole's contributions to every team he played for. His 97 Perf is around average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 74th percentile and ranks 75th among starting 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 -0.4, defense +0.2. The strongest rated teammates are Cam Schlittler at 165, Cody Bellinger at 141, and Ben Rice at 133. Gerrit Cole has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 99.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 36, Gerrit Cole carries a 93 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 1691st among starting pitchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 3 seasons control horizon, $36 million average annual value, and about $108 million in contract-scenario costs for Gerrit Cole. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 50 CE marks the contract as a substantial drag on his value, placing him in the 1st percentile and 1691st among starting pitchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Gerrit Cole's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +3 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 30th percentile and ranks 1491st among starting pitchers. Gerrit Cole has modest positive value, though the market return would depend heavily on fit and demand.
