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*.
2026 win contribution
0.30 Player Wins · 1.09 expected from replacement · -0.79 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 76, Stick of 86, and Carry of 81, Josh Smith sits in the 7th percentile, 21st percentile, and 9th percentile in those areas. His 63 Edge lands in the 10th percentile and ranks 71st among second basemen.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Josh Smith's 86 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 21st percentile and ranks 63rd among second basemen.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Josh Smith's contributions to every team he played for. His 76 Perf is well below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 7th percentile and ranks 73rd among second basemen.
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 -2.0, pitching +0.0, defense +1.6. The strongest rated teammates are Dylan Cease at 143, Spencer Miles at 126, and Louis Varland at 122. Josh Smith has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 81.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 29, Josh Smith carries a 107 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 65th percentile and ranks 234th among second basemen.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 2 seasons control horizon, $0.8 million average annual value, and about $0.8 million in contract-scenario costs for Josh Smith. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 100 CE is close to a fair exchange between salary and production, placing him in the 11th percentile and 262nd among second basemen.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Josh Smith'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 275th among second basemen. Josh Smith sits near neutral value, where salary relief and roster fit may matter as much as the player return.
