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: 3.2% MLB and 96.8% level-adjusted minor-league estimate.

Minor-league estimate: 49.3% observed statistical weight and 50.7% 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*.

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 Connor Kaiser is right now. There is not enough major league data to place him reliably against the rest of the league.

Stick Profile

Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Connor Kaiser's 97 Stick suggests he is showing an underlying profile that cannot yet be compared cleanly with his results. It also places him in the 53rd percentile and ranks 25th among second basemen.

Perf Profile

Perf measures the plays that have already happened and how much they affected games. Connor Kaiser does not yet have enough major league work for a reliable Perf report.

Carry Profile

Carry places a player's Perf in the context of the roster around him. Connor Kaiser does not yet have enough major league work for a reliable Carry report.

LI Profile

LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 29, Connor Kaiser carries a 107 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 65th percentile and ranks 209th among second basemen.

CE Profile

CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 3 seasons control horizon, $0.8 million average annual value, and about $0.8 million in contract-scenario costs for Connor Kaiser. 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 235th among second basemen.

NTV Profile

NTV estimates Connor Kaiser'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 130th among second basemen. Connor Kaiser carries clear positive value and should return a useful major league piece or prospect package.
