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
1.01 Player Wins · 1.65 expected from replacement · -0.64 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 78, Stick of 97, and Carry of 81, Kyle Manzardo sits in the 11th percentile, 53rd percentile, and 9th percentile in those areas. His 70 Edge lands in the 22nd percentile and ranks 63rd among first basemen.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Kyle Manzardo's 97 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 53rd percentile and ranks 59th among first basemen.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Kyle Manzardo's contributions to every team he played for. His 78 Perf is well below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 11th percentile and ranks 65th 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 -3.8, pitching +0.0, defense +0.8. The strongest rated teammates are Steven Kwan at 142, Parker Messick at 136, and Chase DeLauter at 119. Kyle Manzardo has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 81.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 26, Kyle Manzardo 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 191st 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 Kyle Manzardo. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 110 CE leans in the club's favor, placing him in the 82nd percentile and 88th among first basemen.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Kyle Manzardo's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +1 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 17th percentile and ranks 223rd among first basemen. Kyle Manzardo has modest positive value, though the market return would depend heavily on fit and demand.
