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
3.96 Player Wins · 2.39 expected from replacement · 1.57 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 106, Stick of 86, and Carry of 109, Nick Gonzales sits in the 85th percentile, 21st percentile, and 84th percentile in those areas. His 101 Edge lands in the 76th percentile and ranks 19th among second basemen.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Nick Gonzales' 86 Stick suggests he is vastly outperforming what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 21st percentile and ranks 65th among second basemen.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Nick Gonzales's contributions to every team he played for. His 106 Perf is above average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 85th percentile and ranks 19th among second 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 -1.3, pitching +0.0, defense +2.3. The strongest rated teammates are Brandon Lowe at 143, Braxton Ashcraft at 121, and Bryan Reynolds at 119. Nick Gonzales has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 109.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 27, Nick Gonzales 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 250th among second basemen.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 4 seasons control horizon, $0.8 million average annual value, and about $0.8 million in contract-scenario costs for Nick Gonzales. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 100 CE is close to a fair exchange between salary and production, placing him in the 11th percentile and 278th among second basemen.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Nick Gonzales'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 250th among second basemen. Nick Gonzales has modest positive value, though the market return would depend heavily on fit and demand.
