About these ratings
Tool ratings combine recorded performance with statistical estimates. Speed, arm, and fielding include outcome-based estimates rather than direct physical measurements.
Limited MLB evidence: 76.8% MLB and 23.3% level-adjusted minor-league estimate.
Minor-league valuation uses season-decayed historical statistics because the current-season sample is limited.
Minor-league estimate: 28.2% observed statistical weight and 71.8% historical peer baseline; individual tools use their own sample weights.
* On NTV, this indicates estimated or unverified inputs. CE uses an asterisk only when current contract information is unavailable.
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

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 102, Stick of 103, and Carry of 109, Ryan Watson sits in the 81st percentile, 72nd percentile, and 84th percentile in those areas. His 104 Edge lands in the 78th percentile and ranks 77th among relief pitchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Ryan Watson's 103 Stick suggests he is performing close to the level supported by his underlying profile. It also places him in the 72nd percentile and ranks 210th among relief pitchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Ryan Watson's contributions to every team he played for. His 102 Perf is around average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 81st percentile and ranks 52nd among relief 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 +2.7, defense +0.0. The strongest rated teammates are Mike Trout at 136, Reid Detmers at 133, and Zach Neto at 133. Ryan Watson has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 109.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 29, Ryan Watson carries a 99 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 10th percentile and ranks 2952nd among relief pitchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 6 seasons control horizon, $0.8 million average annual value, and about $0.8 million in contract-scenario costs for Ryan Watson. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 115 CE makes the contract a clear source of surplus value, placing him in the 90th percentile and 235th among relief pitchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Ryan Watson's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +8* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 58th percentile and ranks 1065th among relief pitchers. Ryan Watson has modest positive value, though the market return would depend heavily on fit and demand.
