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 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
1.58 Player Wins · 2.97 expected from replacement · -1.38 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 68, Stick of 91, and Carry of 74, Luis Castillo sits in the 2nd percentile, 35th percentile, and 2nd percentile in those areas. His 57 Edge lands in the 6th percentile and ranks 179th among starting pitchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Luis Castillo's 91 Stick suggests he is performing far below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 35th percentile and ranks 158th among starting pitchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Luis Castillo's contributions to every team he played for. His 68 Perf is well below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 2nd percentile and ranks 194th among starting 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 -0.9, defense +0.2. The strongest rated teammates are Miguel Vargas at 148, Tristan Peters at 130, and Chase Meidroth at 129. Luis Castillo has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 74.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 33, Luis Castillo carries a 98 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 5th percentile and ranks 1672nd among starting pitchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 2 seasons control horizon, $21.6 million average annual value, and about $48.3 million in contract-scenario costs for Luis Castillo. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 40 CE marks the contract as a substantial drag on his value, placing him in the 1st percentile and 1701st among starting pitchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Luis Castillo's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His -117 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 1st percentile and ranks 1700th among starting pitchers. Luis Castillo is deeply underwater as a trade asset and would likely require substantial salary relief or added value to move.
