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: 75.1% MLB and 24.9% level-adjusted minor-league estimate.
Minor-league valuation uses season-decayed historical statistics because the current-season sample is limited.
Minor-league estimate: 14.7% observed statistical weight and 85.3% 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 70, Stick of 90, and Carry of 72, Alex Lange sits in the 2nd percentile, 31st percentile, and 2nd percentile in those areas. His 53 Edge lands in the 3rd percentile and ranks 500th among relief pitchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Alex Lange's 90 Stick suggests he is performing far below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 31st percentile and ranks 488th among relief pitchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Alex Lange's contributions to every team he played for. His 70 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 504th 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 -4.9, defense +0.1. The strongest rated teammates are Bobby Witt Jr. at 155, Carter Jensen at 134, and Jac Caglianone at 120. Alex Lange has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 72.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 31, Alex Lange 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 3126th among relief pitchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 3 seasons control horizon, $0.9 million average annual value, and about $0.9 million in contract-scenario costs for Alex Lange. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 100 CE is close to a fair exchange between salary and production, placing him in the 11th percentile and 2768th among relief pitchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Alex Lange's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +3* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 30th percentile and ranks 1965th among relief pitchers. Alex Lange has modest positive value, though the market return would depend heavily on fit and demand.
