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*.

With a Perf of 119, Stick of 125, and Carry of 125, Chase DeLauter sits in the 94th percentile, 94th percentile, and 93rd percentile in those areas. His 145 Edge lands in the 94th percentile and ranks 8th among right fielders.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Chase DeLauter's 125 Stick suggests he is performing close to the level supported by his underlying profile. It also places him in the 94th percentile and ranks 7th among right fielders.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Chase DeLauter's contributions to every team he played for. His 119 Perf is above average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 94th percentile and ranks 9th among right fielders.
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 +4.0, pitching +0.0, defense -1.5. The strongest rated teammates are Steven Kwan at 142, Parker Messick at 136, and Cade Smith at 118. Chase DeLauter has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 125.
LI Profile

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 Chase DeLauter.

His 144 CE shows that the club is receiving far more value than the contract costs, placing him in the 99th percentile and 7th among right fielders.
