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
4.59 Player Wins · 2.81 expected from replacement · 1.79 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 109, Stick of 92, and Carry of 115, Cole Young sits in the 88th percentile, 38th percentile, and 89th percentile in those areas. His 109 Edge lands in the 81st percentile and ranks 15th among second basemen.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Cole Young's 92 Stick suggests he is outperforming what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 38th percentile and ranks 39th among second basemen.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Cole Young's contributions to every team he played for. His 109 Perf is above average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 88th percentile and ranks 14th among second 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 -0.7, pitching +0.0, defense +2.2. The strongest rated teammates are Randy Arozarena at 142, Bryan Woo at 130, and Emerson Hancock at 109. Cole Young has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 115.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 23, Cole Young carries a 110 LI, which points to a favorable chance to remain productive for several seasons. That places him in the 91st percentile and ranks 42nd among second basemen.
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 Cole Young. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 107 CE leans in the club's favor, placing him in the 72nd percentile and 113th among second basemen.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Cole Young'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 50th among second basemen. Cole Young carries clear positive value and should return a useful major league piece or prospect package.
