Limited MLB evidence: 95.3% MLB and 4.7% level-adjusted minor-league estimate.
Minor-league estimate: 57.2% observed statistical weight and 42.8% historical peer baseline; individual tools use their own sample weights.

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 101, Stick of 108, and Carry of 103, Mickey Gasper sits in the 80th percentile, 81st percentile, and 78th percentile in those areas. His 113 Edge lands in the 84th percentile and ranks 23rd among catchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Mickey Gasper's 108 Stick suggests he is performing close to the level supported by his underlying profile. It also places him in the 81st percentile and ranks 24th among catchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Mickey Gasper's contributions to every team he played for. His 101 Perf is around average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 80th percentile and ranks 25th among catchers.
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 -0.1, pitching +0.0, defense +0.0. The strongest rated teammates are Wilyer Abreu at 140, Willson Contreras at 131, and Payton Tolle at 118. Mickey Gasper has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 103.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 31, Mickey Gasper carries a 101 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 16th percentile and ranks 791st among catchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 6 seasons control horizon, $0.2 million average annual value, and about $0.2 million in contract-scenario costs for Mickey Gasper. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 126 CE makes the contract a clear source of surplus value, placing him in the 96th percentile and 32nd among catchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Mickey Gasper's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +35* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 98th percentile and ranks 28th among catchers. Mickey Gasper is a major trade asset with enough value to anchor a significant deal.
