Limited MLB evidence: 94.3% MLB and 5.7% level-adjusted minor-league estimate.
Minor-league estimate: 52.3% observed statistical weight and 47.7% historical peer baseline; individual tools use their own sample weights.

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 83, Stick of 73, and Carry of 87, James Outman sits in the 26th percentile, 4th percentile, and 27th percentile in those areas. His 64 Edge lands in the 12th percentile and ranks 66th among center fielders.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. James Outman's 73 Stick suggests he is outperforming what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 4th percentile and ranks 79th among center fielders.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes James Outman's contributions to every team he played for. His 83 Perf is below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 26th percentile and ranks 62nd among center 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 -0.3. The strongest rated teammates are Kevin McGonigle at 142, Dillon Dingler at 119, and Keider Montero at 118. James Outman has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 87.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 29, James Outman carries a 106 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 52nd percentile and ranks 92nd among center fielders.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 2 seasons control horizon, $0.8 million average annual value, and about $0.8 million in contract-scenario costs for James Outman. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 100 CE is close to a fair exchange between salary and production, placing him in the 11th percentile and 110th among center fielders.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates James Outman'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 122nd among center fielders. James Outman sits near neutral value, where salary relief and roster fit may matter as much as the player return.
