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*.

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 89, Stick of 109, and Carry of 94, Joey Cantillo sits in the 58th percentile, 82nd percentile, and 62nd percentile in those areas. His 96 Edge lands in the 71st percentile and ranks 16th among hybrid pitchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Joey Cantillo's 109 Stick suggests he is performing far below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 82nd percentile and ranks 5th among hybrid pitchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Joey Cantillo's contributions to every team he played for. His 89 Perf is below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 58th percentile and ranks 35th 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 -0.1. The strongest rated teammates are Steven Kwan at 142, Parker Messick at 136, and Chase DeLauter at 119. Joey Cantillo has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 94.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 26, Joey Cantillo 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 45th 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 Joey Cantillo. 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 5th among hybrid pitchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Joey Cantillo's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +16 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 84th percentile and ranks 35th among hybrid pitchers. Joey Cantillo carries clear positive value and should return a useful major league piece or prospect package.
