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 estimate: Annual cost for 2029 is estimated from incomplete terms.
CE assumption: Future club options are modeled as exercise scenarios.
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
0.52 Player Wins · 0.57 expected from replacement · -0.05 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 85, Stick of 102, and Carry of 91, Sean Murphy sits in the 39th percentile, 71st percentile, and 50th percentile in those areas. His 90 Edge lands in the 64th percentile and ranks 47th among catchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Sean Murphy's 102 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 71st percentile and ranks 30th among catchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Sean Murphy's contributions to every team he played for. His 85 Perf is below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 39th percentile and ranks 72nd among catchers.
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 +1.1, pitching +0.0, defense +0.1. The strongest rated teammates are Michael Harris II at 172, Chris Sale at 143, and Drake Baldwin at 133. Sean Murphy has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 91.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 32, Sean Murphy carries a 101 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 16th percentile and ranks 796th among catchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 4 seasons control horizon, $12.2 million average annual value, and about $57.2 million in contract-scenario costs for Sean Murphy. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 76 CE marks the contract as a substantial drag on his value, placing him in the 1st percentile and 828th among catchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Sean Murphy's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His -12 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 1st percentile and ranks 825th among catchers. Sean Murphy carries negative value, so a trade may require salary relief, a smaller return, or another asset.
