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
4.44 Player Wins · 3.24 expected from replacement · 1.20 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 101, Stick of 118, and Carry of 111, Iván Herrera sits in the 80th percentile, 90th percentile, and 86th percentile in those areas. His 126 Edge lands in the 90th percentile and ranks 14th among catchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Iván Herrera's 118 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 90th percentile and ranks 10th among catchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Iván Herrera's contributions to every team he played for. His 101 Perf is around average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 80th percentile and ranks 24th 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 +6.2, pitching +0.0, defense +0.2. The strongest rated teammates are JJ Wetherholt at 136, Alec Burleson at 123, and Gordon Graceffo at 109. Iván Herrera has carried more of the load than his individual results alone show, lifting his Carry to 111.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 26, Iván Herrera carries a 103 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 42nd percentile and ranks 677th among catchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 4 seasons control horizon, $0.8 million average annual value, and about $0.8 million in contract-scenario costs for Iván Herrera. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 140 CE shows that the club is receiving far more value than the contract costs, placing him in the 98th percentile and 11th among catchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Iván Herrera's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +36 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 98th percentile and ranks 20th among catchers. Iván Herrera is a major trade asset with enough value to anchor a significant deal.
