About these ratings
Tool ratings combine recorded performance with statistical estimates. Speed, arm, and fielding include outcome-based estimates rather than direct physical measurements.
Current club control is unverified. Any usable estimate uses the last available contract inputs and does not establish current trade rights.
CE inputs: Current contract information is unavailable. CE uses a neutral 100* fallback.
Neutral fallback: 0* NTV and 100* CE keep this player available in simulations while required inputs are reviewed.
* 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*.
2026 win contribution
2.34 Player Wins · 2.78 expected from replacement · -0.45 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 80, Stick of 117, and Carry of 83, Josh Bell sits in the 16th percentile, 89th percentile, and 13th percentile in those areas. His 86 Edge lands in the 58th percentile and ranks 32nd among first basemen.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Josh Bell's 117 Stick suggests he is performing far below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 89th percentile and ranks 18th among first basemen.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Josh Bell's contributions to every team he played for. His 80 Perf is below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 16th percentile and ranks 59th 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 -2.7, pitching +0.0, defense +0.4. The strongest rated teammates are Brooks Lee at 121, Ryan Jeffers at 119, and Taj Bradley at 118. Josh Bell has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 83.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 34, Josh Bell 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 262nd among first basemen.
CE Profile
100* CE is a neutral placeholder because a usable contract-value estimate cannot yet be calculated. It keeps Josh Bell available in simulations and does not establish fair contract value.
NTV Profile
0* NTV is a neutral placeholder, not a finding that Josh Bell has no value. Required inputs are incomplete; the player remains selectable in every simulation.
