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
1.80 Player Wins · 0.99 expected from replacement · 0.81 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 96, Stick of 80, and Carry of 97, David Fry sits in the 73rd percentile, 10th percentile, and 69th percentile in those areas. His 77 Edge lands in the 38th percentile and ranks 3rd among designated hitters.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. David Fry's 80 Stick suggests he is outperforming what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 10th percentile and ranks 6th among designated hitters.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes David Fry's contributions to every team he played for. His 96 Perf is around average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 73rd percentile and ranks 1st among designated hitters.
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 -1.4, pitching +0.0, defense -0.7. The strongest rated teammates are Steven Kwan at 142, Parker Messick at 136, and Chase DeLauter at 119. David Fry has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 97.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 30, David Fry carries a 107 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 65th percentile and ranks 12th among designated hitters.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 4 seasons control horizon, $1.4 million average annual value, and about $1.4 million in contract-scenario costs for David Fry. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 98 CE is close to a fair exchange between salary and production, placing him in the 2nd percentile and 14th among designated hitters.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates David Fry'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 13th among designated hitters. David Fry sits near neutral value, where salary relief and roster fit may matter as much as the player return.
