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 assumption: Base agreement assumes no future player opt-out: 2029 player opt-out; club negation costs another $40M.
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
5.14 Player Wins · 2.03 expected from replacement · 3.11 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 126, Stick of 173, and Carry of 136, Juan Soto sits in the 96th percentile, 100th percentile, and 96th percentile in those areas. His 193 Edge lands in the 99th percentile and ranks 2nd among right fielders.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Juan Soto's 173 Stick suggests he is performing far below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 100th percentile and ranks 2nd among right fielders.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Juan Soto's contributions to every team he played for. His 126 Perf is excellent on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 96th percentile and ranks 5th among right fielders.
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 +3.5, pitching +0.0, defense -0.9. The strongest rated teammates are Nolan McLean at 130, A.J. Ewing at 112, and Carson Benge at 110. Juan Soto has carried more of the load than his individual results alone show, lifting his Carry to 136.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 28, Juan Soto carries a 109 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 79th percentile and ranks 29th among right fielders.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 14 seasons control horizon, $51 million average annual value, and about $643.1 million in contract-scenario costs for Juan Soto. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 146 CE shows that the club is receiving far more value than the contract costs, placing him in the 99th percentile and 6th among right fielders.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Juan Soto's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +104 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 100th percentile and ranks 1st among right fielders. Juan Soto would require a premium return in almost any realistic trade.
