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 club control is unverified. Any usable estimate uses the last available contract inputs and does not establish current trade rights.
Minor-league estimate: 61.5% observed statistical weight and 38.5% 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
-0.06 Player Wins · 0.06 expected from replacement · -0.13 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 84, Stick of 93, and Carry of 89, Andrew Velazquez sits in the 32nd percentile, 41st percentile, and 38th percentile in those areas. His 81 Edge lands in the 47th percentile and ranks 40th among shortstops.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Andrew Velazquez's 93 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 41st percentile and ranks 27th among shortstops.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Andrew Velazquez'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 48th among shortstops.
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 -0.9, pitching +0.0, defense +0.9. The strongest rated teammates are Bobby Witt Jr. at 155, Carter Jensen at 134, and Jac Caglianone at 120. Andrew Velazquez has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 89.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 32, Andrew Velazquez carries a 104 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 45th percentile and ranks 786th among shortstops.
CE Profile
100* CE is a neutral placeholder because a usable contract-value estimate cannot yet be calculated. It keeps Andrew Velazquez available in simulations and does not establish fair contract value.
NTV Profile
0* NTV is a neutral placeholder, not a finding that Andrew Velazquez has no value. Required inputs are incomplete; the player remains selectable in every simulation.
