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: 70.2% MLB and 29.8% level-adjusted minor-league estimate.

Minor-league estimate: 34.0% observed statistical weight and 66.0% 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*.

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 112, and Carry of 91, Eric Orze sits in the 58th percentile, 85th percentile, and 50th percentile in those areas. His 91 Edge lands in the 66th percentile and ranks 147th among relief pitchers.

Stick Profile

Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Eric Orze's 112 Stick suggests he is performing far below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 85th percentile and ranks 102nd among relief pitchers.

Perf Profile

Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Eric Orze'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 189th 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 -2.0, defense -0.1. The strongest rated teammates are Pete Crow-Armstrong at 201, Seiya Suzuki at 145, and Alex Bregman at 142. Eric Orze has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 91.

LI Profile

LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 29, Eric Orze 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 2457th 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 Eric Orze. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 122 CE makes the contract a clear source of surplus value, placing him in the 95th percentile and 97th among relief pitchers.

NTV Profile

NTV estimates Eric Orze's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +9* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 63rd percentile and ranks 808th among relief pitchers. Eric Orze has modest positive value, though the market return would depend heavily on fit and demand.
