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
2.11 Player Wins · 1.34 expected from replacement · 0.78 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 96, Stick of 121, and Carry of 99, Ryan Zeferjahn sits in the 73rd percentile, 92nd percentile, and 72nd percentile in those areas. His 107 Edge lands in the 80th percentile and ranks 64th among relief pitchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Ryan Zeferjahn's 121 Stick suggests he is performing far below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 92nd percentile and ranks 53rd among relief pitchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Ryan Zeferjahn's contributions to every team he played for. His 96 Perf is around average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 73rd percentile and ranks 99th 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 -0.5, defense +0.8. The strongest rated teammates are Pete Crow-Armstrong at 201, Seiya Suzuki at 145, and Alex Bregman at 142. Ryan Zeferjahn has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 99.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 28, Ryan Zeferjahn carries a 99 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 10th percentile and ranks 2956th among relief pitchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 4 seasons control horizon, $0.8 million average annual value, and about $0.8 million in contract-scenario costs for Ryan Zeferjahn. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 140 CE shows that the club is receiving far more value than the contract costs, placing him in the 98th percentile and 24th among relief pitchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Ryan Zeferjahn's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +10 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 68th percentile and ranks 735th among relief pitchers. Ryan Zeferjahn carries clear positive value and should return a useful major league piece or prospect package.
