About these ratings
Tool ratings combine recorded performance with statistical estimates. Speed, arm, and fielding include outcome-based estimates rather than direct physical measurements.
Limited MLB evidence: 60.4% MLB and 39.6% level-adjusted minor-league estimate.
Minor-league estimate: 62.3% observed statistical weight and 37.7% historical peer baseline; individual tools use their own sample weights.
CE estimate: Published annual cost differs from the payroll cross-check; the accounting or terms need reconciliation.
* On NTV, this indicates estimated or unverified inputs. CE uses an asterisk only when current contract information is unavailable.
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 82, Stick of 74, and Carry of 87, Jeimer Candelario sits in the 22nd percentile, 5th percentile, and 27th percentile in those areas. His 59 Edge lands in the 7th percentile and ranks 71st among first basemen.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Jeimer Candelario's 74 Stick suggests he is outperforming what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 5th percentile and ranks 92nd among first basemen.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Jeimer Candelario's contributions to every team he played for. His 82 Perf is below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 22nd percentile and ranks 52nd among first 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 +0.4, pitching +0.0, defense +0.1. The strongest rated teammates are Mike Trout at 136, Reid Detmers at 133, and Zach Neto at 133. Jeimer Candelario has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 87.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 32, Jeimer Candelario carries a 107 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 65th percentile and ranks 241st among first basemen.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a one season control horizon, $15 million average annual value, and about $13 million in contract-scenario costs for Jeimer Candelario. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 76 CE marks the contract as a substantial drag on his value, placing him in the 1st percentile and 270th among first basemen.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Jeimer Candelario's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His -29* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 1st percentile and ranks 272nd among first basemen. Jeimer Candelario is deeply underwater as a trade asset and would likely require substantial salary relief or added value to move.
