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: Published annual cost differs from the payroll cross-check; the accounting or terms need reconciliation.

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*.

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 87, Stick of 91, and Carry of 94, Jordan Hicks sits in the 50th percentile, 35th percentile, and 62nd percentile in those areas. His 81 Edge lands in the 47th percentile and ranks 37th among hybrid pitchers.

Stick Profile

Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Jordan Hicks' 91 Stick suggests he is performing close to the level supported by his underlying profile. It also places him in the 35th percentile and ranks 49th among hybrid pitchers.

Perf Profile

Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Jordan Hicks's contributions to every team he played for. His 87 Perf is below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 50th percentile and ranks 41st among hybrid 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 +3.4, defense -0.4. The strongest rated teammates are Miguel Vargas at 148, Tristan Peters at 130, and Chase Meidroth at 129. Jordan Hicks has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 94.

LI Profile

LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 30, Jordan Hicks carries a 102 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 28th percentile and ranks 92nd among hybrid pitchers.

CE Profile

CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 2 seasons control horizon, $11 million average annual value, and about $24 million in contract-scenario costs for Jordan Hicks. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 64 CE marks the contract as a substantial drag on his value, placing him in the 1st percentile and 109th among hybrid pitchers.

NTV Profile

NTV estimates Jordan Hicks's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His -28 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 1st percentile and ranks 109th among hybrid pitchers. Jordan Hicks is deeply underwater as a trade asset and would likely require substantial salary relief or added value to move.
