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 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
4.66 Player Wins · 3.09 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 98, and Carry of 108, Brandon Pfaadt sits in the 85th percentile, 57th percentile, and 83rd percentile in those areas. His 107 Edge lands in the 80th percentile and ranks 59th among starting pitchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Brandon Pfaadt's 98 Stick suggests he is outperforming what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 57th percentile and ranks 105th among starting pitchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Brandon Pfaadt'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 48th among starting 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 +0.3, defense +0.0. The strongest rated teammates are Gabriel Moreno at 163, Corbin Carroll at 156, and Geraldo Perdomo at 154. Brandon Pfaadt has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 108.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 28, Brandon Pfaadt carries a 104 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 45th percentile and ranks 1313th among starting pitchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 6 seasons control horizon, $9 million average annual value, and about $65 million in contract-scenario costs for Brandon Pfaadt. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 87 CE suggests the salary is running ahead of the expected return, placing him in the 1st percentile and 1679th among starting pitchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Brandon Pfaadt's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +7 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 53rd percentile and ranks 1171st among starting pitchers. Brandon Pfaadt has modest positive value, though the market return would depend heavily on fit and demand.
