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: 10.3% MLB and 89.7% level-adjusted minor-league estimate.
Minor-league estimate: 58.7% observed statistical weight and 41.3% 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 86, Stick of 94, and Carry of 90, Luke Williams sits in the 45th percentile, 43rd percentile, and 44th percentile in those areas. His 82 Edge lands in the 50th percentile and ranks 35th among third basemen.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Luke Williams' 94 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 43rd percentile and ranks 40th among third basemen.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Luke Williams's contributions to every team he played for. His 86 Perf is below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 45th percentile and ranks 38th among third basemen.
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 +0.0, defense +0.0. The strongest rated teammates are Michael Harris II at 172, Chris Sale at 143, and Drake Baldwin at 133. Luke Williams has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 90.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 30, Luke Williams carries a 105 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 47th percentile and ranks 276th among third basemen.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a one season control horizon, $0.8 million average annual value, and about $0.8 million in contract-scenario costs for Luke Williams. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 101 CE is close to a fair exchange between salary and production, placing him in the 23rd percentile and 223rd among third basemen.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Luke Williams's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +8* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 58th percentile and ranks 168th among third basemen. Luke Williams has modest positive value, though the market return would depend heavily on fit and demand.
