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: 12.7% MLB and 87.3% level-adjusted minor-league estimate.
Minor-league estimate: 67.0% observed statistical weight and 33.0% 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*.
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 Niko Kavadas is right now. There is not enough major league data to place him reliably against the rest of the league.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Niko Kavadas' 99 Stick suggests he is showing an underlying profile that cannot yet be compared cleanly with his results. It also places him in the 61st percentile and ranks 49th among first basemen.
Perf Profile
Perf measures the plays that have already happened and how much they affected games. Niko Kavadas does not yet have enough major league work for a reliable Perf report.
Carry Profile
Carry places a player's Perf in the context of the roster around him. Niko Kavadas does not yet have enough major league work for a reliable Carry report.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 28, Niko Kavadas 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 206th among first 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 Niko Kavadas. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 102 CE is close to a fair exchange between salary and production, placing him in the 29th percentile and 177th among first basemen.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Niko Kavadas's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +22* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 92nd percentile and ranks 22nd among first basemen. Niko Kavadas carries clear positive value and should return a useful major league piece or prospect package.
