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 estimate: Annual cost for 2027 is estimated from incomplete terms.
CE assumption: Future club options are modeled as exercise scenarios.
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 122, Stick of 132, and Carry of 130, Cade Cavalli sits in the 95th percentile, 96th percentile, and 94th percentile in those areas. His 156 Edge lands in the 96th percentile and ranks 17th among starting pitchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Cade Cavalli's 132 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 96th percentile and ranks 18th among starting pitchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Cade Cavalli's contributions to every team he played for. His 122 Perf is excellent on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 95th percentile and ranks 17th 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 +2.3, defense -0.2. The strongest rated teammates are CJ Abrams at 144, James Wood at 137, and Jacob Young at 125. Cade Cavalli has carried more of the load than his individual results alone show, lifting his Carry to 130.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 28, Cade Cavalli 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 1331st among starting pitchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 2 seasons control horizon, $0.9 million average annual value, and about $1.7 million in contract-scenario costs for Cade Cavalli. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 150 CE shows that the club is receiving far more value than the contract costs, placing him in the 100th percentile and 10th among starting pitchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Cade Cavalli's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +71 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 100th percentile and ranks 19th among starting pitchers. Cade Cavalli is a major trade asset with enough value to anchor a significant deal.
