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: 24.4% MLB and 75.6% level-adjusted minor-league estimate.

Minor-league estimate: 55.4% observed statistical weight and 44.6% 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*.

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 87, Stick of 74, and Carry of 92, Billy Cook sits in the 50th percentile, 5th percentile, and 54th percentile in those areas. His 70 Edge lands in the 22nd percentile and ranks 61st among center fielders.

Stick Profile

Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Billy Cook's 74 Stick suggests he is outperforming what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 5th percentile and ranks 76th among center fielders.

Perf Profile

Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Billy Cook's contributions to every team he played for. His 87 Perf is below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 50th percentile and ranks 44th among center fielders.

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 +0.0, defense +1.0. The strongest rated teammates are Brandon Lowe at 143, Braxton Ashcraft at 121, and Bryan Reynolds at 119. Billy Cook has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 92.

LI Profile

LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 27, Billy Cook 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 66th among center fielders.

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 Billy Cook. 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 87th among center fielders.

NTV Profile

NTV estimates Billy Cook's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +20* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 90th percentile and ranks 43rd among center fielders. Billy Cook carries clear positive value and should return a useful major league piece or prospect package.
