Edge Profile
Edge combines Perf, Stick, and Carry to show how valuable a player is right now. With a Perf of 83, Stick of 94, and Carry of 86, J.C. Escarra sits in the 26th percentile, 43rd percentile, and 23rd percentile in those areas. His 79 Edge lands in the 42nd percentile and ranks 70th among catchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. J.C. Escarra's 94 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 43rd percentile and ranks 69th among catchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes J.C. Escarra's contributions to every team he played for. His 83 Perf is below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 26th percentile and ranks 86th among catchers.
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 -2.0, pitching +0.0, defense +0.0. The strongest rated teammates are Cam Schlittler at 165, Cody Bellinger at 141, and Ben Rice at 133. J.C. Escarra 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 31, J.C. Escarra 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 780th among catchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 6 seasons control horizon, $0.8 million average annual value, and about $0.8 million in contract-scenario costs for J.C. Escarra. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 101 CE is close to a fair exchange between salary and production, placing him in the 23rd percentile and 631st among catchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates J.C. Escarra's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +15* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 82nd percentile and ranks 182nd among catchers. J.C. Escarra carries clear positive value and should return a useful major league piece or prospect package.
