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

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 81, Stick of 92, and Carry of 86, Jacob Lopez sits in the 19th percentile, 38th percentile, and 23rd percentile in those areas. His 73 Edge lands in the 28th percentile and ranks 144th among starting pitchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Jacob Lopez's 92 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 38th percentile and ranks 150th among starting pitchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Jacob Lopez's contributions to every team he played for. His 81 Perf is below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 19th percentile and ranks 153rd among starting pitchers.
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 +0.0, pitching +1.0, defense -1.1. The strongest rated teammates are Nick Kurtz at 130, Shea Langeliers at 125, and Zack Gelof at 124. Jacob Lopez 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 28, Jacob Lopez carries a 104 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 45th percentile and ranks 1431st among starting pitchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 6 seasons control horizon, $0.8 million average annual value, and about $0.8 million in contract-scenario costs for Jacob Lopez. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 101 CE is close to a fair exchange between salary and production, placing him in the 23rd percentile and 1409th among starting pitchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Jacob Lopez'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 1621st among starting pitchers. Jacob Lopez sits near neutral value, where salary relief and roster fit may matter as much as the player return.
