With a Skill of 100, Stick of 108, and Carry of 98, Kevin Gausman sits in the 95th percentile, 97th percentile, and 95th percentile in those areas. His 105 Edge lands in the 96th percentile and ranks 85th among starting pitchers.

Stick Profile

Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Kevin Gausman's 108 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports his current output. It also places him in the 97th percentile and ranks 64th among starting pitchers.

Skill Profile

Skill measures the plays that have already happened and how much they affected games. Kevin Gausman has performed around the middle of the league, without strongly pushing the club toward winning or losing Chicago Cubs games. Kevin Gausman's 100 Skill sits in the 95th percentile and ranks 94th among starting pitchers.

Carry Profile

Carry places Skill in the context of the roster around a player. The strongest rated teammates are Pete Crow-Armstrong at 175, Alex Bregman at 141, and Seiya Suzuki at 140. Kevin Gausman has contributed about as much as his own Skill suggests, resulting in a Carry of 98.

LI Profile

LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 35, Kevin Gausman carries a 108 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 96th percentile and ranks 96th among starting pitchers.

CE Profile

CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. Kevin Gausman is under control for one season at a $22 million annual salary, with about $23 million remaining. His 72 CE marks the contract as a substantial drag on his value, placing him in the 1st percentile and 4560th among starting pitchers.

NTV Profile

NTV estimates Kevin Gausman's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +12 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 93rd percentile and ranks 215th among starting pitchers. Kevin Gausman carries clear positive value and should return a useful major league piece or prospect package.
