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 2027 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*.

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 141, Stick of 119, and Carry of 145, William Contreras sits in the 98th percentile, 91st percentile, and 97th percentile in those areas. His 175 Edge lands in the 98th percentile and ranks 2nd among catchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. William Contreras' 119 Stick suggests he is vastly outperforming what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 91st percentile and ranks 8th among catchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes William Contreras's contributions to every team he played for. His 141 Perf is elite on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 98th percentile and ranks 2nd 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 +4.7, pitching +0.0, defense +1.1. The strongest rated teammates are Jacob Misiorowski at 167, Brice Turang at 157, and Jackson Chourio at 143. William Contreras has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 145.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 28, William Contreras 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 760th among catchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 2 seasons control horizon, $9.4 million average annual value, and about $18.8 million in contract-scenario costs for William Contreras. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 152 CE shows that the club is receiving far more value than the contract costs, placing him in the 100th percentile and 2nd among catchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates William Contreras's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +64 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 99th percentile and ranks 4th among catchers. William Contreras is a major trade asset with enough value to anchor a significant deal.
