His 66 Edge lands in the 88th percentile and ranks 62nd among third basemen.

Stick Profile

Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Santiago Espinal's 101 Stick suggests he is performing far below what his underlying profile supports his current output. It also places him in the 95th percentile and ranks 37th among third basemen.

Skill Profile

Skill measures the plays that have already happened and how much they affected games. Santiago Espinal has performed very poorly, and his production has likely cost Los Angeles Dodgers games. Santiago Espinal's 71 Skill sits in the 85th percentile and ranks 68th among third basemen.

Carry Profile

Carry places Skill in the context of the roster around a player. The strongest rated teammates are Max Muncy at 147, Yoshinobu Yamamoto at 143, and Andy Pages at 142. Santiago Espinal has contributed about as much as his own Skill suggests, resulting in a Carry of 72.

LI Profile

LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 31, Santiago Espinal carries a 102 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 54th percentile and ranks 37th among third basemen.

CE Profile

CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. Santiago Espinal is under control for one season at a $2.5 million annual salary, with about $2.5 million remaining. His 112 CE leans in the club's favor, placing him in the 89th percentile and 39th among third basemen.

NTV Profile

NTV estimates Santiago Espinal'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 61st percentile and ranks 186th among third basemen. Santiago Espinal has modest positive value, though the market return would depend heavily on fit and demand.
