Stick Profile

Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Luke Maile's 97 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports his current output. It also places him in the 94th percentile and ranks 52nd among catchers.

Skill Profile

Skill measures the plays that have already happened and how much they affected games. Luke Maile has performed poorly, and his production has likely cost Kansas City Royals games. Luke Maile's 87 Skill sits in the 90th percentile and ranks 69th among catchers.

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. Luke Maile has contributed about as much as his own Skill suggests, resulting in a Carry of 87.

LI Profile

LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 35, Luke Maile carries a 73 LI, which points to a limited or uncertain remaining window. That places him in the 1st percentile and ranks 800th among catchers.

CE Profile

CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. Luke Maile is under control for one season at a $0.6 million annual salary, with about $0.6 million remaining. His 116 CE makes the contract a clear source of surplus value, placing him in the 91st percentile and 35th among catchers.

NTV Profile

NTV estimates Luke Maile's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His 0 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 34th percentile and ranks 634th among catchers. Luke Maile sits near neutral value, where salary relief and roster fit may matter as much as the player return.
