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
2.62 Player Wins · 1.93 expected from replacement · 0.69 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 95, Stick of 115, and Carry of 99, Joc Pederson sits in the 71st percentile, 88th percentile, and 72nd percentile in those areas. His 102 Edge lands in the 77th percentile and ranks 2nd among designated hitters.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Joc Pederson's 115 Stick suggests he is performing far below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 88th percentile and ranks 3rd among designated hitters.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Joc Pederson's contributions to every team he played for. His 95 Perf is around average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 71st percentile and ranks 2nd among designated hitters.
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 +1.4, pitching +0.0, defense -0.7. The strongest rated teammates are Wyatt Langford at 131, Ezequiel Duran at 124, and Jacob Latz at 119. Joc Pederson 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 34, Joc Pederson carries a 103 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 42nd percentile and ranks 13th among designated hitters.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a one season control horizon, $18.5 million average annual value, and about $18.5 million in contract-scenario costs for Joc Pederson. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 97 CE is close to a fair exchange between salary and production, placing him in the 1st percentile and 15th among designated hitters.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Joc Pederson'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 9th percentile and ranks 14th among designated hitters. Joc Pederson sits near neutral value, where salary relief and roster fit may matter as much as the player return.
