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*.

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 79, Stick of 82, and Carry of 83, Steven Matz sits in the 13th percentile, 13th percentile, and 13th percentile in those areas. His 60 Edge lands in the 8th percentile and ranks 487th among relief pitchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Steven Matz's 82 Stick suggests he is performing close to the level supported by his underlying profile. It also places him in the 13th percentile and ranks 594th among relief pitchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Steven Matz's contributions to every team he played for. His 79 Perf is well below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 13th percentile and ranks 471st 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 -1.5, defense +0.0. The strongest rated teammates are Junior Caminero at 151, Drew Rasmussen at 151, and Liam Hicks at 128. Steven Matz has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 83.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 35, Steven Matz 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 3405th among relief pitchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 2 seasons control horizon, $7.5 million average annual value, and about $15 million in contract-scenario costs for Steven Matz. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 78 CE marks the contract as a substantial drag on his value, placing him in the 1st percentile and 3461st among relief pitchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Steven Matz's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His -45 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 1st percentile and ranks 3463rd among relief pitchers. Steven Matz is deeply underwater as a trade asset and would likely require substantial salary relief or added value to move.
