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 cost for 2031 is estimated from incomplete terms. Annual cost for 2032 is estimated from incomplete terms.
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 97, Stick of 109, and Carry of 103, José Ramírez sits in the 74th percentile, 82nd percentile, and 78th percentile in those areas. His 109 Edge lands in the 81st percentile and ranks 18th among third basemen.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. José Ramírez's 109 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 82nd percentile and ranks 15th among third basemen.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes José Ramírez's contributions to every team he played for. His 97 Perf is around average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 74th percentile and ranks 18th among third 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 +2.3, pitching +0.0, defense +0.3. The strongest rated teammates are Steven Kwan at 142, Parker Messick at 136, and Chase DeLauter at 119. José Ramírez has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 103.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 34, José Ramírez 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 289th among third basemen.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 7 seasons control horizon, $25 million average annual value, and about $128.5 million in contract-scenario costs for José Ramírez. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 65 CE marks the contract as a substantial drag on his value, placing him in the 1st percentile and 298th among third basemen.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates José Ramírez's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His -5 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 1st percentile and ranks 295th among third basemen. José Ramírez carries negative value, so a trade may require salary relief, a smaller return, or another asset.
