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 contract and service-control terms are unavailable. Historical statistics remain available.
Minor-league estimate: 60.8% observed statistical weight and 39.2% historical peer baseline; individual tools use their own sample weights.
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
2.25 Player Wins · 1.20 expected from replacement · 1.05 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 99, Stick of 82, and Carry of 105, Donovan Walton sits in the 78th percentile, 13th percentile, and 80th percentile in those areas. His 89 Edge lands in the 63rd percentile and ranks 32nd among second basemen.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Donovan Walton's 82 Stick suggests he is outperforming what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 13th percentile and ranks 76th among second basemen.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Donovan Walton's contributions to every team he played for. His 99 Perf is around average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 78th percentile and ranks 25th among second 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 -0.3, pitching +0.0, defense +0.7. The strongest rated teammates are Nick Kurtz at 130, Shea Langeliers at 125, and Zack Gelof at 124. Donovan Walton has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 105.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 32, Donovan Walton carries a 105 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 47th percentile and ranks 288th among second basemen.
CE Profile
100* CE is a neutral placeholder because a usable contract-value estimate cannot yet be calculated. It keeps Donovan Walton available in simulations and does not establish fair contract value.
NTV Profile
0* NTV is a neutral placeholder, not a finding that Donovan Walton has no value. Required inputs are incomplete; the player remains selectable in every simulation.
