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

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 88, Stick of 98, and Carry of 92, Thomas Saggese sits in the 54th percentile, 57th percentile, and 54th percentile in those areas. His 89 Edge lands in the 63rd percentile and ranks 32nd among shortstops.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Thomas Saggese's 98 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 57th percentile and ranks 19th among shortstops.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Thomas Saggese's contributions to every team he played for. His 88 Perf is below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 54th percentile and ranks 40th among shortstops.
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 JJ Wetherholt at 136, Alec Burleson at 123, and Gordon Graceffo at 109. Thomas Saggese 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 24, Thomas Saggese 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 635th among shortstops.
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 Thomas Saggese. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 115 CE makes the contract a clear source of surplus value, placing him in the 90th percentile and 84th among shortstops.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Thomas Saggese's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +3 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 30th percentile and ranks 585th among shortstops. Thomas Saggese has modest positive value, though the market return would depend heavily on fit and demand.
