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: 66.0% MLB and 34.0% level-adjusted minor-league estimate.
Minor-league valuation uses season-decayed historical statistics because the current-season sample is limited.
Minor-league estimate: 26.8% observed statistical weight and 73.2% historical peer baseline; individual tools use their own sample weights.

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 a player is right now. With a Perf of 79, Stick of 115, and Carry of 82, Sam Bachman sits in the 13th percentile, 88th percentile, and 11th percentile in those areas. His 82 Edge lands in the 50th percentile and ranks 239th among relief pitchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Sam Bachman's 115 Stick suggests he is performing far below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 88th percentile and ranks 89th among relief pitchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Sam Bachman's contributions to every team he played for. His 79 Perf is well below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 13th percentile and ranks 470th among relief 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 -1.7, defense -0.5. The strongest rated teammates are Mike Trout at 136, Reid Detmers at 133, and Zach Neto at 133. Sam Bachman has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 82.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 27, Sam Bachman carries a 99 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 10th percentile and ranks 2958th among relief pitchers.
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 Sam Bachman. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 123 CE makes the contract a clear source of surplus value, placing him in the 95th percentile and 91st among relief pitchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Sam Bachman's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +6* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 48th percentile and ranks 1463rd among relief pitchers. Sam Bachman has modest positive value, though the market return would depend heavily on fit and demand.
