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 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 50, Stick of 90, and Carry of 54, Carlos Cortes sits in the 1st percentile, 31st percentile, and 1st percentile in those areas. His 32 Edge lands in the 1st percentile and ranks 116th among left fielders.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Carlos Cortes' 90 Stick suggests he is performing far below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 31st percentile and ranks 93rd among left fielders.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Carlos Cortes's contributions to every team he played for. His 50 Perf is well below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 1st percentile and ranks 115th among left 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 -1.7, pitching +0.0, defense -3.5. The strongest rated teammates are Nick Kurtz at 130, Shea Langeliers at 125, and Zack Gelof at 124. Carlos Cortes has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 54.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 29, Carlos Cortes 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 45th among left fielders.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 6 seasons control horizon, $0.8 million average annual value, and about $0.8 million in contract-scenario costs for Carlos Cortes. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 100 CE is close to a fair exchange between salary and production, placing him in the 11th percentile and 80th among left fielders.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Carlos Cortes's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His 0 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 9th percentile and ranks 116th among left fielders. Carlos Cortes sits near neutral value, where salary relief and roster fit may matter as much as the player return.
