About these ratings

Tool ratings combine recorded performance with statistical estimates. Speed, arm, and fielding include outcome-based estimates rather than direct physical measurements.

Limited MLB evidence: 88.1% MLB and 11.9% level-adjusted minor-league estimate.

Minor-league valuation uses season-decayed historical statistics because the current-season sample is limited.

Minor-league estimate: 28.2% observed statistical weight and 71.8% 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*.

Edge Profile

Edge combines Perf, Stick, and Carry to show how valuable a player is right now. With a Perf of 98, Stick of 81, and Carry of 104, Ryan Rolison sits in the 76th percentile, 11th percentile, and 79th percentile in those areas. His 83 Edge lands in the 52nd percentile and ranks 220th among relief pitchers.

Stick Profile

Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Ryan Rolison's 81 Stick suggests he is outperforming what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 11th percentile and ranks 600th among relief pitchers.

Perf Profile

Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Ryan Rolison'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 80th 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 +3.9, defense +0.2. The strongest rated teammates are Pete Crow-Armstrong at 201, Seiya Suzuki at 145, and Alex Bregman at 142. Ryan Rolison has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 104.

LI Profile

LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 29, Ryan Rolison 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 2950th 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, $0.2 million average annual value, and about $0.2 million in contract-scenario costs for Ryan Rolison. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 101 CE is close to a fair exchange between salary and production, placing him in the 23rd percentile and 2720th among relief pitchers.

NTV Profile

NTV estimates Ryan Rolison's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +1* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 17th percentile and ranks 2911th among relief pitchers. Ryan Rolison has modest positive value, though the market return would depend heavily on fit and demand.
