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 club costs do not reconcile with the reported obligation. 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*.

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 93, Stick of 86, and Carry of 97, Framber Valdez sits in the 68th percentile, 21st percentile, and 69th percentile in those areas. His 83 Edge lands in the 52nd percentile and ranks 106th among starting pitchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Framber Valdez's 86 Stick suggests he is performing close to the level supported by his underlying profile. It also places him in the 21st percentile and ranks 191st among starting pitchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Framber Valdez's contributions to every team he played for. His 93 Perf is below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 68th percentile and ranks 85th among starting 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 -0.2, defense +0.4. The strongest rated teammates are Kevin McGonigle at 142, Dillon Dingler at 119, and Keider Montero at 118. Framber Valdez has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 97.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 32, Framber Valdez 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 1615th among starting pitchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 3 seasons control horizon, $38.3 million average annual value, and about $100.7 million in contract-scenario costs for Framber Valdez. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 40 CE marks the contract as a substantial drag on his value, placing him in the 1st percentile and 1699th among starting pitchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Framber Valdez's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His -119 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 1st percentile and ranks 1701st among starting pitchers. Framber Valdez is deeply underwater as a trade asset and would likely require substantial salary relief or added value to move.
