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

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 83, Stick of 83, and Carry of 88, JP Sears sits in the 26th percentile, 15th percentile, and 31st percentile in those areas. His 69 Edge lands in the 20th percentile and ranks 157th among starting pitchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. JP Sears' 83 Stick suggests he is performing close to the level supported by his underlying profile. It also places him in the 15th percentile and ranks 200th among starting pitchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes JP Sears's contributions to every team he played for. His 83 Perf is below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 26th percentile and ranks 144th among starting 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 +0.2, defense -0.1. The strongest rated teammates are Fernando Tatis Jr. at 136, Jackson Merrill at 133, and Ty France at 123. JP Sears has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 88.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 30, JP Sears carries a 102 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 28th percentile and ranks 1624th among starting pitchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 3 seasons control horizon, $2.8 million average annual value, and about $2.8 million in contract-scenario costs for JP Sears. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 94 CE suggests the salary is running ahead of the expected return, placing him in the 1st percentile and 1670th among starting pitchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates JP Sears's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His 0 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 9th percentile and ranks 1628th among starting pitchers. JP Sears sits near neutral value, where salary relief and roster fit may matter as much as the player return.
