About these ratings
Tool ratings combine recorded performance with statistical estimates. Speed, arm, and fielding include outcome-based estimates rather than direct physical measurements.
Current club control is unverified. Any usable estimate uses the last available contract inputs and does not establish current trade rights.
Limited MLB evidence: 94.4% MLB and 5.6% level-adjusted minor-league estimate.
Minor-league valuation uses season-decayed historical statistics because the current-season sample is limited.
Minor-league estimate: 32.5% observed statistical weight and 67.5% 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*.
2026 win contribution

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 74, Stick of 94, and Carry of 76, José Suarez sits in the 4th percentile, 43rd percentile, and 4th percentile in those areas. His 61 Edge lands in the 8th percentile and ranks 481st among relief pitchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. José Suarez's 94 Stick suggests he is performing far below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 43rd percentile and ranks 421st among relief pitchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes José Suarez's contributions to every team he played for. His 74 Perf is well below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 4th percentile and ranks 495th 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 -3.9, defense +0.0. The strongest rated teammates are Nick Kurtz at 130, Shea Langeliers at 125, and Zack Gelof at 124. José Suarez has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 76.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 28, José Suarez carries a 99 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 10th percentile and ranks 2682nd among relief pitchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a one season control horizon, $0.9 million average annual value, and about $0.9 million in contract-scenario costs for José Suarez. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 106 CE leans in the club's favor, placing him in the 66th percentile and 1008th among relief pitchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates José Suarez's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His -25* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 1st percentile and ranks 3459th among relief pitchers. José Suarez is deeply underwater as a trade asset and would likely require substantial salary relief or added value to move.
