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 85, Stick of 101, and Carry of 93, Spencer Horwitz sits in the 39th percentile, 68th percentile, and 58th percentile in those areas. His 84 Edge lands in the 55th percentile and ranks 35th among first basemen.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Spencer Horwitz's 101 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 68th percentile and ranks 42nd among first basemen.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Spencer Horwitz's contributions to every team he played for. His 85 Perf is below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 39th percentile and ranks 43rd among first basemen.
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 +2.2. The strongest rated teammates are Brandon Lowe at 143, Braxton Ashcraft at 121, and Bryan Reynolds at 119. Spencer Horwitz has carried more of the load than his individual results alone show, lifting his Carry to 93.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 29, Spencer Horwitz carries a 109 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 79th percentile and ranks 215th among first basemen.
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 Spencer Horwitz. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 113 CE leans in the club's favor, placing him in the 88th percentile and 70th among first basemen.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Spencer Horwitz's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +1 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 17th percentile and ranks 227th among first basemen. Spencer Horwitz has modest positive value, though the market return would depend heavily on fit and demand.
