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
0.97 Player Wins · 0.70 expected from replacement · 0.27 wins above replacement
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 89, Stick of 107, and Carry of 91, Brendan Donovan sits in the 58th percentile, 80th percentile, and 50th percentile in those areas. His 94 Edge lands in the 70th percentile and ranks 34th among left fielders.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Brendan Donovan's 107 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 80th percentile and ranks 31st among left fielders.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Brendan Donovan'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 40th among left fielders.
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 -1.1, pitching +0.0, defense -0.8. The strongest rated teammates are Randy Arozarena at 142, Bryan Woo at 130, and Cole Young at 109. Brendan Donovan 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, Brendan Donovan carries a 109 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 79th percentile and ranks 41st among left fielders.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 2 seasons control horizon, $5.8 million average annual value, and about $5.8 million in contract-scenario costs for Brendan Donovan. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 120 CE makes the contract a clear source of surplus value, placing him in the 94th percentile and 26th among left fielders.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Brendan Donovan'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 114th among left fielders. Brendan Donovan sits near neutral value, where salary relief and roster fit may matter as much as the player return.
