About these ratings
Tool ratings combine recorded performance with statistical estimates. Speed, arm, and fielding include outcome-based estimates rather than direct physical measurements.
Limited MLB evidence: 48.9% MLB and 51.1% level-adjusted minor-league estimate.
Minor-league valuation uses season-decayed historical statistics because the current-season sample is limited.
Minor-league estimate: 12.6% observed statistical weight and 87.4% historical peer baseline; individual tools use their own sample weights.
* 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*.

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 89, Stick of 94, and Carry of 93, Sam Hentges sits in the 58th percentile, 43rd percentile, and 58th percentile in those areas. His 80 Edge lands in the 45th percentile and ranks 266th among relief pitchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Sam Hentges' 94 Stick suggests he is performing close to the level supported by his underlying profile. It also places him in the 43rd percentile and ranks 431st among relief pitchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Sam Hentges's contributions to every team he played for. His 89 Perf is below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 58th percentile and ranks 201st among relief 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 -0.1, defense -0.5. The strongest rated teammates are Rafael Devers at 116, Bryce Eldridge at 113, and Landen Roupp at 113. Sam Hentges has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 93.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 30, Sam Hentges carries a 97 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 3rd percentile and ranks 3301st among relief pitchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 2 seasons control horizon, $1.4 million average annual value, and about $1.4 million in contract-scenario costs for Sam Hentges. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 102 CE is close to a fair exchange between salary and production, placing him in the 29th percentile and 2481st among relief pitchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Sam Hentges's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +6* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 48th percentile and ranks 1465th among relief pitchers. Sam Hentges has modest positive value, though the market return would depend heavily on fit and demand.
