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*.

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 136, Stick of 133, and Carry of 144, Zack Wheeler sits in the 97th percentile, 96th percentile, and 97th percentile in those areas. His 175 Edge lands in the 98th percentile and ranks 12th among starting pitchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Zack Wheeler's 133 Stick suggests he is performing close to the level supported by his underlying profile. It also places him in the 96th percentile and ranks 17th among starting pitchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Zack Wheeler's contributions to every team he played for. His 136 Perf is excellent on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 97th percentile and ranks 11th 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 +6.1, defense +0.1. The strongest rated teammates are Jesús Luzardo at 152, Cristopher Sánchez at 138, and Kyle Schwarber at 132. Zack Wheeler has carried more of the load than his individual results alone show, lifting his Carry to 144.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 36, Zack Wheeler 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 1705th among starting pitchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 2 seasons control horizon, $42 million average annual value, and about $84 million in contract-scenario costs for Zack Wheeler. 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 23rd among starting pitchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Zack Wheeler's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +79 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 100th percentile and ranks 14th among starting pitchers. Zack Wheeler would require a premium return in almost any realistic trade.
