About these ratings

Tool ratings combine recorded performance with statistical estimates. Speed, arm, and fielding include outcome-based estimates rather than direct physical measurements.

Limited MLB evidence: 44.6% MLB and 55.4% level-adjusted minor-league estimate.

Minor-league estimate: 40.8% observed statistical weight and 59.2% historical peer baseline; individual tools use their own sample weights.

* On NTV, this indicates estimated or unverified inputs. CE uses an asterisk only when current contract information is unavailable.

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*.

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 97, Stick of 121, and Carry of 102, Drew Sommers sits in the 74th percentile, 92nd percentile, and 76th percentile in those areas. His 109 Edge lands in the 81st percentile and ranks 53rd among relief pitchers.

Stick Profile

Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Drew Sommers' 121 Stick suggests he is performing far below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 92nd percentile and ranks 51st among relief pitchers.

Perf Profile

Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Drew Sommers's contributions to every team he played for. His 97 Perf is around average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 74th percentile and ranks 83rd among relief 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 +1.0, defense +0.3. The strongest rated teammates are Kevin McGonigle at 142, Dillon Dingler at 119, and Keider Montero at 118. Drew Sommers has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 102.

LI Profile

LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 26, Drew Sommers carries a 99 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 10th percentile and ranks 2420th among relief pitchers.

CE Profile

CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 6 seasons control horizon, $0.1 million average annual value, and about $0.1 million in contract-scenario costs for Drew Sommers. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 118 CE makes the contract a clear source of surplus value, placing him in the 93rd percentile and 151st among relief pitchers.

NTV Profile

NTV estimates Drew Sommers's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +18* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 88th percentile and ranks 71st among relief pitchers. Drew Sommers carries clear positive value and should return a useful major league piece or prospect package.
