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*.

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 75, Stick of 91, and Carry of 78, Matthew Liberatore sits in the 5th percentile, 35th percentile, and 5th percentile in those areas. His 64 Edge lands in the 12th percentile and ranks 76th among hybrid pitchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Matthew Liberatore's 91 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 35th percentile and ranks 50th among hybrid pitchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Matthew Liberatore's contributions to every team he played for. His 75 Perf is well below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 5th percentile and ranks 94th among hybrid 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 -3.4, defense +0.3. The strongest rated teammates are JJ Wetherholt at 136, Alec Burleson at 123, and Gordon Graceffo at 109. Matthew Liberatore has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 78.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 27, Matthew Liberatore carries a 104 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 45th percentile and ranks 59th among hybrid pitchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 4 seasons control horizon, $2.3 million average annual value, and about $2.3 million in contract-scenario costs for Matthew Liberatore. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 95 CE is close to a fair exchange between salary and production, placing him in the 1st percentile and 105th among hybrid pitchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Matthew Liberatore's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His 0 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 9th percentile and ranks 95th among hybrid pitchers. Matthew Liberatore sits near neutral value, where salary relief and roster fit may matter as much as the player return.
