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: 10.9% MLB and 89.1% level-adjusted minor-league estimate.

Minor-league estimate: 44.5% observed statistical weight and 55.5% 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*.

Edge Profile

Edge combines Perf, Stick, and Carry to show how valuable a player is right now. With a Perf of 81, Stick of 85, and Carry of 85, Ricky Vanasco sits in the 19th percentile, 19th percentile, and 19th percentile in those areas. His 64 Edge lands in the 12th percentile and ranks 462nd among relief pitchers.

Stick Profile

Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Ricky Vanasco's 85 Stick suggests he is performing close to the level supported by his underlying profile. It also places him in the 19th percentile and ranks 571st among relief pitchers.

Perf Profile

Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Ricky Vanasco's contributions to every team he played for. His 81 Perf is below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 19th percentile and ranks 445th among relief 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 -0.7, defense +0.0. The strongest rated teammates are Michael Harris II at 172, Chris Sale at 143, and Drake Baldwin at 133. Ricky Vanasco has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 85.

LI Profile

LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 28, Ricky Vanasco carries a 99 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 10th percentile and ranks 2917th among relief pitchers.

CE Profile

CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 4 seasons control horizon, $0.8 million average annual value, and about $0.8 million in contract-scenario costs for Ricky Vanasco. 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 3299th among relief pitchers.

NTV Profile

NTV estimates Ricky Vanasco's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +14* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 80th percentile and ranks 290th among relief pitchers. Ricky Vanasco carries clear positive value and should return a useful major league piece or prospect package.
