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 estimate: Annual cost for 2030 is estimated from incomplete terms. Annual cost for 2031 is estimated from incomplete terms. Annual cost for 2032 is estimated from incomplete terms. Annual club costs do not reconcile with the reported obligation.
CE assumption: Future club options are modeled as exercise scenarios.
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
2.18 Player Wins · 2.61 expected from replacement · -0.43 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 80, Stick of 115, and Carry of 81, Lawrence Butler sits in the 16th percentile, 88th percentile, and 9th percentile in those areas. His 85 Edge lands in the 57th percentile and ranks 36th among right fielders.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Lawrence Butler's 115 Stick suggests he is performing far below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 88th percentile and ranks 16th among right fielders.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Lawrence Butler's contributions to every team he played for. His 80 Perf is below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 16th percentile and ranks 57th among right fielders.
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 +2.8, pitching +0.0, defense -7.3. The strongest rated teammates are Nick Kurtz at 130, Shea Langeliers at 125, and Zack Gelof at 124. Lawrence Butler 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 26, Lawrence Butler 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 59th among right fielders.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 7 seasons control horizon, $9.4 million average annual value, and about $57.1 million in contract-scenario costs for Lawrence Butler. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 132 CE shows that the club is receiving far more value than the contract costs, placing him in the 97th percentile and 19th among right fielders.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Lawrence Butler's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +9 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 63rd percentile and ranks 57th among right fielders. Lawrence Butler has modest positive value, though the market return would depend heavily on fit and demand.
