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
1.64 Player Wins · 1.98 expected from replacement · -0.34 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 82, Stick of 96, and Carry of 86, Jake Cronenworth sits in the 22nd percentile, 50th percentile, and 23rd percentile in those areas. His 77 Edge lands in the 38th percentile and ranks 49th among first basemen.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Jake Cronenworth's 96 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 50th percentile and ranks 64th among first basemen.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Jake Cronenworth's contributions to every team he played for. His 82 Perf is below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 22nd percentile and ranks 51st among first 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 +1.8. The strongest rated teammates are Fernando Tatis Jr. at 136, Jackson Merrill at 133, and Ty France at 123. Jake Cronenworth has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 86.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 32, Jake Cronenworth carries a 107 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 65th percentile and ranks 239th among first basemen.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 5 seasons control horizon, $11.4 million average annual value, and about $61.4 million in contract-scenario costs for Jake Cronenworth. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 69 CE marks the contract as a substantial drag on his value, placing him in the 1st percentile and 271st among first basemen.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Jake Cronenworth's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His -25 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 1st percentile and ranks 271st among first basemen. Jake Cronenworth is deeply underwater as a trade asset and would likely require substantial salary relief or added value to move.
