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: 81.7% MLB and 18.3% level-adjusted minor-league estimate.
Minor-league estimate: 2.8% observed statistical weight and 97.2% historical peer baseline; individual tools use their own sample weights.
CE estimate: Annual cost for 2028 is estimated from incomplete terms. Annual club costs do not reconcile with the reported obligation.
CE assumption: Future club options are modeled as exercise scenarios.
* 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
-0.53 Player Wins · 0.54 expected from replacement · -1.06 wins above replacement
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 72, Stick of 106, and Carry of 74, Phil Maton sits in the 3rd percentile, 78th percentile, and 2nd percentile in those areas. His 67 Edge lands in the 16th percentile and ranks 438th among relief pitchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Phil Maton's 106 Stick suggests he is performing far below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 78th percentile and ranks 152nd among relief pitchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Phil Maton's contributions to every team he played for. His 72 Perf is well below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 3rd percentile and ranks 500th 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 -4.6, defense +0.4. The strongest rated teammates are Pete Crow-Armstrong at 201, Seiya Suzuki at 145, and Alex Bregman at 142. Phil Maton has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 74.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 33, Phil Maton carries a 93 LI, which points to a shorter or less certain window due to role, age, or pitching risk. That places him in the 1st percentile and ranks 3393rd among relief pitchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 3 seasons control horizon, $7.3 million average annual value, and about $18.8 million in contract-scenario costs for Phil Maton. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 110 CE leans in the club's favor, placing him in the 82nd percentile and 521st among relief pitchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Phil Maton's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His -17* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 1st percentile and ranks 3456th among relief pitchers. Phil Maton carries negative value, so a trade may require salary relief, a smaller return, or another asset.
