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 98, Stick of 103, and Carry of 94, JJ Bleday sits in the 76th percentile, 72nd percentile, and 62nd percentile in those areas. His 101 Edge lands in the 76th percentile and ranks 23rd among center fielders.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. JJ Bleday's 103 Stick suggests he is performing close to the level supported by his underlying profile. It also places him in the 72nd percentile and ranks 17th among center fielders.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes JJ Bleday's contributions to every team he played for. His 98 Perf is around average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 76th percentile and ranks 23rd among center 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 -4.2, pitching +0.0, defense -5.8. The strongest rated teammates are Elly De La Cruz at 180, Tyler Stephenson at 120, and Chase Burns at 117. JJ Bleday has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 94.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 29, JJ Bleday carries a 106 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 52nd percentile and ranks 95th among center fielders.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 3 seasons control horizon, $1.4 million average annual value, and about $1.4 million in contract-scenario costs for JJ Bleday. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 119 CE makes the contract a clear source of surplus value, placing him in the 93rd percentile and 25th among center fielders.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates JJ Bleday's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +20 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 90th percentile and ranks 45th among center fielders. JJ Bleday carries clear positive value and should return a useful major league piece or prospect package.
