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 estimate: Annual cost for 2031 is estimated from incomplete terms. Annual cost for 2032 is estimated from incomplete terms. Annual cost for 2033 is estimated from incomplete terms. Annual cost for 2034 is estimated from incomplete terms.
CE assumption: Future club options are modeled as exercise scenarios.
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
2.64 Player Wins · 1.79 expected from replacement · 0.85 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 97, Stick of 104, and Carry of 100, Samuel Basallo sits in the 74th percentile, 75th percentile, and 73rd percentile in those areas. His 105 Edge lands in the 79th percentile and ranks 30th among catchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Samuel Basallo's 104 Stick suggests he is performing close to the level supported by his underlying profile. It also places him in the 75th percentile and ranks 28th among catchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Samuel Basallo's contributions to every team he played for. His 97 Perf is around average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 74th percentile and ranks 34th among catchers.
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 -0.3, pitching +0.0, defense -0.5. The strongest rated teammates are Pete Alonso at 143, Trevor Rogers at 121, and Gunnar Henderson at 120. Samuel Basallo has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 100.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 22, Samuel Basallo carries a 106 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 52nd percentile and ranks 511th among catchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 9 seasons control horizon, $8.4 million average annual value, and about $48.4 million in contract-scenario costs for Samuel Basallo. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 131 CE shows that the club is receiving far more value than the contract costs, placing him in the 97th percentile and 22nd among catchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Samuel Basallo's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +33 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 98th percentile and ranks 34th among catchers. Samuel Basallo carries clear positive value and should return a useful major league piece or prospect package.
