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: 60.1% MLB and 39.9% level-adjusted minor-league estimate.
Minor-league valuation uses season-decayed historical statistics because the current-season sample is limited.
Minor-league estimate: 10.1% observed statistical weight and 89.9% historical peer baseline; individual tools use their own sample weights.

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 83, Stick of 124, and Carry of 86, Bennett Sousa sits in the 26th percentile, 94th percentile, and 23rd percentile in those areas. His 93 Edge lands in the 68th percentile and ranks 127th among relief pitchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Bennett Sousa's 124 Stick suggests he is performing far below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 94th percentile and ranks 43rd among relief pitchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Bennett Sousa'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 383rd 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 -2.4, defense +0.0. The strongest rated teammates are Yordan Alvarez at 172, Isaac Paredes at 136, and Jeremy Peña at 130. Bennett Sousa 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, Bennett Sousa 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 3139th among relief pitchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 4 seasons control horizon, $0.9 million average annual value, and about $0.9 million in contract-scenario costs for Bennett Sousa. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 124 CE makes the contract a clear source of surplus value, placing him in the 96th percentile and 76th among relief pitchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Bennett Sousa's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +7* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 53rd percentile and ranks 1117th among relief pitchers. Bennett Sousa has modest positive value, though the market return would depend heavily on fit and demand.
