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 club costs do not reconcile with the reported obligation.

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*.

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 117, Stick of 100, and Carry of 119, Nick Martinez sits in the 93rd percentile, 65th percentile, and 91st percentile in those areas. His 123 Edge lands in the 88th percentile and ranks 4th among hybrid pitchers.

Stick Profile

Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Nick Martinez's 100 Stick suggests he is outperforming what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 65th percentile and ranks 16th among hybrid pitchers.

Perf Profile

Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Nick Martinez's contributions to every team he played for. His 117 Perf is above average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 93rd percentile and ranks 3rd among hybrid 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 +2.5, defense +0.1. The strongest rated teammates are Junior Caminero at 151, Drew Rasmussen at 151, and Liam Hicks at 128. Nick Martinez has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 119.

LI Profile

LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 36, Nick Martinez 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 110th among hybrid pitchers.

CE Profile

CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a one season control horizon, $13 million average annual value, and about $9 million in contract-scenario costs for Nick Martinez. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 116 CE makes the contract a clear source of surplus value, placing him in the 91st percentile and 9th among hybrid pitchers.

NTV Profile

NTV estimates Nick Martinez's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +19 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 89th percentile and ranks 27th among hybrid pitchers. Nick Martinez carries clear positive value and should return a useful major league piece or prospect package.
