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
4.37 Player Wins · 1.98 expected from replacement · 2.38 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 116, Stick of 110, and Carry of 127, Josh Jung sits in the 92nd percentile, 83rd percentile, and 93rd percentile in those areas. His 137 Edge lands in the 92nd percentile and ranks 8th among third basemen.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Josh Jung's 110 Stick suggests he is performing close to the level supported by his underlying profile. It also places him in the 83rd percentile and ranks 14th among third basemen.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Josh Jung's contributions to every team he played for. His 116 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 9th among third 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 +4.8, pitching +0.0, defense +1.5. The strongest rated teammates are Wyatt Langford at 131, Ezequiel Duran at 124, and Jacob Latz at 119. Josh Jung has carried more of the load than his individual results alone show, lifting his Carry to 127.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 28, Josh Jung 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 third basemen.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 3 seasons control horizon, $2.9 million average annual value, and about $2.9 million in contract-scenario costs for Josh Jung. 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 8th among third basemen.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Josh Jung's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +34 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 98th percentile and ranks 13th among third basemen. Josh Jung carries clear positive value and should return a useful major league piece or prospect package.
