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
6.56 Player Wins · 2.88 expected from replacement · 3.68 wins above replacement
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 133, Stick of 148, and Carry of 140, Ben Rice sits in the 97th percentile, 99th percentile, and 97th percentile in those areas. His 176 Edge lands in the 98th percentile and ranks 3rd among first basemen.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Ben Rice's 148 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 99th percentile and ranks 3rd among first basemen.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Ben Rice's contributions to every team he played for. His 133 Perf is excellent on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 97th percentile and ranks 3rd among first basemen.
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 +7.0, pitching +0.0, defense -0.6. The strongest rated teammates are Cam Schlittler at 165, Cody Bellinger at 141, and Max Fried at 132. Ben Rice has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 140.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 27, Ben Rice 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 144th among first basemen.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 5 seasons control horizon, $0.8 million average annual value, and about $0.8 million in contract-scenario costs for Ben Rice. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 152 CE shows that the club is receiving far more value than the contract costs, placing him in the 100th percentile and 2nd among first basemen.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Ben Rice's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +60 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 99th percentile and ranks 3rd among first basemen. Ben Rice is a major trade asset with enough value to anchor a significant deal.
