About these ratings
Tool ratings combine recorded performance with statistical estimates. Speed, arm, and fielding include outcome-based estimates rather than direct physical measurements.
Limited MLB evidence: 1.7% MLB and 98.3% level-adjusted minor-league estimate.
Minor-league estimate: 59.4% observed statistical weight and 40.6% historical peer baseline; individual tools use their own sample weights.
* On NTV, this indicates estimated or unverified inputs. CE uses an asterisk only when current contract information is unavailable.
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 87, Stick of 100, and Carry of 92, Shawn Ross sits in the 50th percentile, 65th percentile, and 54th percentile in those areas. His 90 Edge lands in the 64th percentile and ranks 48th among catchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Shawn Ross' 100 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 65th percentile and ranks 39th among catchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Shawn Ross's contributions to every team he played for. His 87 Perf is below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 50th percentile and ranks 57th among catchers.
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 +0.3, pitching +0.0, defense +0.0. The strongest rated teammates are Dylan Cease at 143, Spencer Miles at 126, and Louis Varland at 122. Shawn Ross has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 92.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 27, Shawn Ross carries a 103 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 42nd percentile and ranks 749th among catchers.
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 Shawn Ross. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 100 CE is close to a fair exchange between salary and production, placing him in the 11th percentile and 798th among catchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Shawn Ross's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +15* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 82nd percentile and ranks 191st among catchers. Shawn Ross carries clear positive value and should return a useful major league piece or prospect package.
