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*.

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 82, Stick of 100, and Carry of 86, Kerry Carpenter sits in the 22nd percentile, 65th percentile, and 23rd percentile in those areas. His 80 Edge lands in the 45th percentile and ranks 44th among right fielders.

Stick Profile

Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Kerry Carpenter's 100 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 65th percentile and ranks 36th among right fielders.

Perf Profile

Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Kerry Carpenter's contributions to every team he played for. His 82 Perf is below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 22nd percentile and ranks 47th among right 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 +0.8, pitching +0.0, defense -1.9. The strongest rated teammates are Kevin McGonigle at 142, Dillon Dingler at 119, and Keider Montero at 118. Kerry Carpenter has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 86.

LI Profile

LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 29, Kerry Carpenter 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 31st among right fielders.

CE Profile

CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 3 seasons control horizon, $3.3 million average annual value, and about $3.3 million in contract-scenario costs for Kerry Carpenter. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 111 CE leans in the club's favor, placing him in the 84th percentile and 33rd among right fielders.

NTV Profile

NTV estimates Kerry Carpenter's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +1 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 17th percentile and ranks 71st among right fielders. Kerry Carpenter has modest positive value, though the market return would depend heavily on fit and demand.
