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 estimate: Annual cost for 2027 is estimated from incomplete terms. Annual club costs do not reconcile with the reported obligation.

CE assumption: Future club options are modeled as exercise scenarios.

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*.

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 87, Stick of 106, and Carry of 94, Ryne Stanek sits in the 50th percentile, 78th percentile, and 62nd percentile in those areas. His 88 Edge lands in the 61st percentile and ranks 175th among relief pitchers.

Stick Profile

Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Ryne Stanek's 106 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 78th percentile and ranks 155th among relief pitchers.

Perf Profile

Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Ryne Stanek's contributions to every team he played for. His 87 Perf is below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 50th percentile and ranks 261st 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 +3.1, defense +0.1. The strongest rated teammates are JJ Wetherholt at 136, Alec Burleson at 123, and Gordon Graceffo at 109. Ryne Stanek has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 94.

LI Profile

LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 35, Ryne Stanek 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 3401st 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, $3.5 million average annual value, and about $6 million in contract-scenario costs for Ryne Stanek. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 123 CE makes the contract a clear source of surplus value, placing him in the 95th percentile and 90th among relief pitchers.

NTV Profile

NTV estimates Ryne Stanek's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His -6 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 1st percentile and ranks 3450th among relief pitchers. Ryne Stanek carries negative value, so a trade may require salary relief, a smaller return, or another asset.
