About these ratings
Tool ratings combine recorded performance with statistical estimates. Speed, arm, and fielding include outcome-based estimates rather than direct physical measurements.
CE estimate: Annual cost for 2031 is estimated from incomplete terms. Annual cost for 2032 is estimated from incomplete terms.
CE assumption: Future club options are modeled as exercise scenarios.
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*.

Includes contributions to every team played for in 2026. Perf expresses wins above replacement on a scale where 100 is average. How the win totals reconcile
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 113, Stick of 78, and Carry of 120, Keibert Ruiz sits in the 90th percentile, 8th percentile, and 91st percentile in those areas. His 109 Edge lands in the 81st percentile and ranks 26th among catchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Keibert Ruiz's 78 Stick suggests he is vastly outperforming what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 8th percentile and ranks 117th among catchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Keibert Ruiz's contributions to every team he played for. His 113 Perf is above average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 90th percentile and ranks 11th 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 +1.7, pitching +0.0, defense +0.4. The strongest rated teammates are CJ Abrams at 144, James Wood at 137, and Jacob Young at 125. Keibert Ruiz has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 120.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 28, Keibert Ruiz carries a 103 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 42nd percentile and ranks 699th among catchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 7 seasons control horizon, $6.3 million average annual value, and about $49.4 million in contract-scenario costs for Keibert Ruiz. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 81 CE suggests the salary is running ahead of the expected return, placing him in the 1st percentile and 827th among catchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Keibert Ruiz'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 1st percentile and ranks 824th among catchers. Keibert Ruiz carries negative value, so a trade may require salary relief, a smaller return, or another asset.
