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*.

Edge Profile

Edge combines Perf, Stick, and Carry to show how valuable a player is right now. With a Perf of 115, Stick of 114, and Carry of 121, Luis García Jr. sits in the 92nd percentile, 87th percentile, and 92nd percentile in those areas. His 133 Edge lands in the 92nd percentile and ranks 5th among second basemen.

Stick Profile

Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Luis García Jr.'s 114 Stick suggests he is performing close to the level supported by his underlying profile. It also places him in the 87th percentile and ranks 3rd among second basemen.

Perf Profile

Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Luis García Jr.'s contributions to every team he played for. His 115 Perf is above average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 92nd percentile and ranks 10th 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 +5.1, pitching +0.0, defense +2.2. The strongest rated teammates are Cam Schlittler at 165, Cody Bellinger at 141, and Ben Rice at 133. Luis García Jr. has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 121.

LI Profile

LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 26, Luis García Jr. carries a 109 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 79th percentile and ranks 188th 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, $6.9 million average annual value, and about $6.9 million in contract-scenario costs for Luis García Jr.. 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 5th among second basemen.

NTV Profile

NTV estimates Luis García Jr.'s value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +29 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 96th percentile and ranks 16th among second basemen. Luis García Jr. carries clear positive value and should return a useful major league piece or prospect package.
