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*.

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 64, Stick of 97, and Carry of 68, Jorge Polanco sits in the 1st percentile, 53rd percentile, and 1st percentile in those areas. His 55 Edge lands in the 4th percentile and ranks 77th among second basemen.

Stick Profile

Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Jorge Polanco's 97 Stick suggests he is performing far below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 53rd percentile and ranks 26th among second basemen.

Perf Profile

Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Jorge Polanco's contributions to every team he played for. His 64 Perf is well below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 1st percentile and ranks 80th among second basemen.

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 -2.5, pitching +0.0, defense -0.2. The strongest rated teammates are Nolan McLean at 130, Juan Soto at 126, and A.J. Ewing at 112. Jorge Polanco has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 68.

LI Profile

LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 33, Jorge Polanco carries a 101 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 16th percentile and ranks 305th among second basemen.

CE Profile

CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 2 seasons control horizon, $20 million average annual value, and about $40 million in contract-scenario costs for Jorge Polanco. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 51 CE marks the contract as a substantial drag on his value, placing him in the 1st percentile and 306th among second basemen.

NTV Profile

NTV estimates Jorge Polanco's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His -85 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 1st percentile and ranks 306th among second basemen. Jorge Polanco is deeply underwater as a trade asset and would likely require substantial salary relief or added value to move.
