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*.

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 103, Stick of 99, and Carry of 108, Troy Melton sits in the 82nd percentile, 61st percentile, and 83rd percentile in those areas. His 106 Edge lands in the 79th percentile and ranks 13th among hybrid pitchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Troy Melton's 99 Stick suggests he is performing close to the level supported by his underlying profile. It also places him in the 61st percentile and ranks 17th among hybrid pitchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Troy Melton's contributions to every team he played for. His 103 Perf is around average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 82nd percentile and ranks 12th among hybrid 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 +1.5, defense +0.4. The strongest rated teammates are Kevin McGonigle at 142, Dillon Dingler at 119, and Keider Montero at 118. Troy Melton has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 108.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 25, Troy Melton carries a 104 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 45th percentile and ranks 74th among hybrid 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 Troy Melton. 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 11th among hybrid pitchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Troy Melton's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +22 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 92nd percentile and ranks 17th among hybrid pitchers. Troy Melton carries clear positive value and should return a useful major league piece or prospect package.
