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 2031 is estimated from incomplete terms. Annual cost for 2032 is estimated from incomplete terms. Annual cost for 2033 is estimated from incomplete terms. Published annual cost differs from the payroll cross-check; the accounting or terms need reconciliation.
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
2.78 Player Wins · 1.12 expected from replacement · 1.66 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 107, Stick of 132, and Carry of 107, Will Smith sits in the 86th percentile, 96th percentile, and 82nd percentile in those areas. His 138 Edge lands in the 92nd percentile and ranks 11th among catchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Will Smith's 132 Stick suggests he is performing far below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 96th percentile and ranks 1st among catchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Will Smith's contributions to every team he played for. His 107 Perf is above average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 86th percentile and ranks 16th 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 +0.5, pitching +0.0, defense -0.5. The strongest rated teammates are Shohei Ohtani at 160, Yoshinobu Yamamoto at 150, and Max Muncy at 134. Will Smith has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 107.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 31, Will Smith 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 800th among catchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 8 seasons control horizon, $14 million average annual value, and about $85.9 million in contract-scenario costs for Will Smith. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 141 CE shows that the club is receiving far more value than the contract costs, placing him in the 99th percentile and 9th among catchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Will Smith's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +49 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 99th percentile and ranks 8th among catchers. Will Smith is a major trade asset with enough value to anchor a significant deal.
