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 87, Stick of 98, and Carry of 90, Craig Yoho sits in the 50th percentile, 57th percentile, and 44th percentile in those areas. His 80 Edge lands in the 45th percentile and ranks 260th among relief pitchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Craig Yoho's 98 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 57th percentile and ranks 318th among relief pitchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Craig Yoho's contributions to every team he played for. His 87 Perf is below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 50th percentile and ranks 240th among relief 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 -1.3, defense +0.2. The strongest rated teammates are Steven Kwan at 142, Parker Messick at 136, and Chase DeLauter at 119. Craig Yoho has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 90.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 27, Craig Yoho carries a 99 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 10th percentile and ranks 2378th among relief pitchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 5 seasons control horizon, $0.8 million average annual value, and about $0.8 million in contract-scenario costs for Craig Yoho. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 105 CE leans in the club's favor, placing him in the 60th percentile and 1111th among relief pitchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Craig Yoho's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +14* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 80th percentile and ranks 232nd among relief pitchers. Craig Yoho carries clear positive value and should return a useful major league piece or prospect package.
