About these ratings

Tool ratings combine recorded performance with statistical estimates. Speed, arm, and fielding include outcome-based estimates rather than direct physical measurements.

Limited MLB evidence: 9.8% MLB and 90.3% level-adjusted minor-league estimate.

Minor-league estimate: 55.5% observed statistical weight and 44.5% historical peer baseline; individual tools use their own sample weights.

* On NTV, this indicates estimated or unverified inputs. CE uses an asterisk only when current contract information is unavailable.

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*.

Edge Profile

Edge combines Perf, Stick, and Carry to show how valuable a player is right now. With a Perf of 85, Stick of 98, and Carry of 90, Max Rajcic sits in the 39th percentile, 57th percentile, and 44th percentile in those areas. His 79 Edge lands in the 42nd percentile and ranks 280th among relief pitchers.

Stick Profile

Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Max Rajcic's 98 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 57th percentile and ranks 325th among relief pitchers.

Perf Profile

Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Max Rajcic'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 327th 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 +0.2, defense +0.0. The strongest rated teammates are JJ Wetherholt at 136, Alec Burleson at 123, and Gordon Graceffo at 109. Max Rajcic 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 25, Max Rajcic 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 2820th among relief 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 Max Rajcic. 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 2687th among relief pitchers.

NTV Profile

NTV estimates Max Rajcic's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +13* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 78th percentile and ranks 374th among relief pitchers. Max Rajcic carries clear positive value and should return a useful major league piece or prospect package.
