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: 43.3% MLB and 56.7% level-adjusted minor-league estimate.
Minor-league estimate: 45.6% observed statistical weight and 54.4% historical peer baseline; individual tools use their own sample weights.

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 84, Stick of 81, and Carry of 89, Vidal Bruján sits in the 32nd percentile, 11th percentile, and 38th percentile in those areas. His 72 Edge lands in the 26th percentile and ranks 49th among shortstops.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Vidal Bruján's 81 Stick suggests he is performing close to the level supported by his underlying profile. It also places him in the 11th percentile and ranks 52nd among shortstops.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Vidal Bruján's contributions to every team he played for. His 84 Perf is below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 32nd percentile and ranks 50th among shortstops.
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 +0.5, pitching +0.0, defense +0.4. The strongest rated teammates are Michael Harris II at 172, Chris Sale at 143, and Drake Baldwin at 133. Vidal Bruján has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 89.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 28, Vidal Bruján carries a 106 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 52nd percentile and ranks 781st among shortstops.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a one season control horizon, $0.8 million average annual value, and about $0.8 million in contract-scenario costs for Vidal Bruján. 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 785th among shortstops.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Vidal Bruján's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +10* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 68th percentile and ranks 253rd among shortstops. Vidal Bruján carries clear positive value and should return a useful major league piece or prospect package.
