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: 57.3% MLB and 42.7% level-adjusted minor-league estimate.
Minor-league estimate: 61.9% observed statistical weight and 38.1% historical peer baseline; individual tools use their own sample weights.

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 84, Stick of 93, and Carry of 88, Jimmy Crooks sits in the 32nd percentile, 41st percentile, and 31st percentile in those areas. His 80 Edge lands in the 45th percentile and ranks 67th among catchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Jimmy Crooks' 93 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 41st percentile and ranks 75th among catchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Jimmy Crooks's contributions to every team he played for. His 84 Perf is below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 32nd percentile and ranks 76th among catchers.
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 -0.7, pitching +0.0, defense -0.1. The strongest rated teammates are JJ Wetherholt at 136, Alec Burleson at 123, and Gordon Graceffo at 109. Jimmy Crooks has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 88.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 25, Jimmy Crooks carries a 103 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 42nd percentile and ranks 683rd among catchers.
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 $0.1 million in contract-scenario costs for Jimmy Crooks. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 103 CE is close to a fair exchange between salary and production, placing him in the 38th percentile and 493rd among catchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Jimmy Crooks's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +19* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 89th percentile and ranks 110th among catchers. Jimmy Crooks carries clear positive value and should return a useful major league piece or prospect package.
