Limited MLB evidence: 38.3% MLB and 61.7% level-adjusted minor-league estimate.
Minor-league estimate: 35.8% observed statistical weight and 64.2% historical peer baseline; individual tools use their own sample weights.

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 84, Stick of 94, and Carry of 88, Joel Payamps sits in the 32nd percentile, 43rd percentile, and 31st percentile in those areas. His 74 Edge lands in the 31st percentile and ranks 341st among relief pitchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Joel Payamps' 94 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 43rd percentile and ranks 419th among relief pitchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Joel Payamps's contributions to every team he played for. His 84 Perf is below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 32nd percentile and ranks 355th 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 -0.4, defense +0.0. The strongest rated teammates are Michael Harris II at 172, Chris Sale at 143, and Drake Baldwin at 133. Joel Payamps has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 88.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 32, Joel Payamps carries a 97 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 3rd percentile and ranks 3228th among relief pitchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a one season control horizon, $2.3 million average annual value, and about $2.3 million in contract-scenario costs for Joel Payamps. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 101 CE is close to a fair exchange between salary and production, placing him in the 23rd percentile and 2643rd among relief pitchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Joel Payamps'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 3164th among relief pitchers. Joel Payamps sits near neutral value, where salary relief and roster fit may matter as much as the player return.
