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 95, and Carry of 91, Eduardo Rivera sits in the 50th percentile, 46th percentile, and 50th percentile in those areas. His 82 Edge lands in the 50th percentile and ranks 36th among hybrid pitchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Eduardo Rivera's 95 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 46th percentile and ranks 31st among hybrid pitchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Eduardo Rivera'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 40th among hybrid 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 -0.0, defense +0.0. The strongest rated teammates are JJ Wetherholt at 136, Alec Burleson at 123, and Gordon Graceffo at 109. Eduardo Rivera has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 91.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 23, Eduardo Rivera carries a 107 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 65th percentile and ranks 4th among hybrid pitchers.
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 Eduardo Rivera. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 101 CE is close to a fair exchange between salary and production, placing him in the 23rd percentile and 32nd among hybrid pitchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Eduardo Rivera's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +27* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 95th percentile and ranks 9th among hybrid pitchers. Eduardo Rivera carries clear positive value and should return a useful major league piece or prospect package.
