About these ratings
Prospect tools are estimates from age- and level-adjusted statistics. They are not scouting grades or guaranteed MLB forecasts.
Historical tests support MLB-readiness rankings. Future MLB production and lifetime dollar values remain unvalidated estimates.
Minor-league estimate: 65.6% observed statistical weight and 34.4% 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.
Minor-league performance
AAA · 285 plate appearances this season · 66% observed statistical weight
Performance index: 100.8* · Development estimate: 94.7*
Performance compares results within level and league, with 100 as average. Development combines performance, age, level, and sample size using PVL model assumptions; it is an estimate of future ability. MLB Perf, Stick, and Carry require MLB evidence.
Edge Profile
Edge combines Perf, Stick, and Carry to show how valuable Alejo Lopez 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. Alejo Lopez does not yet have enough major league skill evidence for a reliable Stick report.
Perf Profile
Perf measures the plays that have already happened and how much they affected games. Alejo Lopez 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. Alejo Lopez 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 30, Alejo Lopez 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 283rd among second basemen.
CE Profile
For minor-league profiles, CE uses modeled future MLB salary and team-control assumptions. Alejo Lopez's 115 CE is a model estimate; it does not describe his current minor-league pay or establish his actual service-time rights.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Alejo Lopez's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +18* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 88th percentile and ranks 55th among second basemen. Alejo Lopez carries clear positive value and should return a useful major league piece or prospect package.
