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 estimate: Annual cost for 2031 is estimated from incomplete terms. Annual cost for 2032 is estimated from incomplete terms. Annual cost for 2033 is estimated from incomplete terms.
CE assumption: Future club options are modeled as exercise scenarios.
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

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 97, Stick of 77, and Carry of 103, Jacob Wilson sits in the 74th percentile, 7th percentile, and 78th percentile in those areas. His 86 Edge lands in the 58th percentile and ranks 33rd among shortstops.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Jacob Wilson's 77 Stick suggests he is vastly outperforming what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 7th percentile and ranks 56th among shortstops.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Jacob Wilson'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 29th among shortstops.
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 -0.8, pitching +0.0, defense +1.8. The strongest rated teammates are Nick Kurtz at 130, Shea Langeliers at 125, and Zack Gelof at 124. Jacob Wilson has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 103.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 24, Jacob Wilson 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 308th among shortstops.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 8 seasons control horizon, $10 million average annual value, and about $66 million in contract-scenario costs for Jacob Wilson. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 81 CE suggests the salary is running ahead of the expected return, placing him in the 1st percentile and 799th among shortstops.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Jacob Wilson's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His -16 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 1st percentile and ranks 805th among shortstops. Jacob Wilson carries negative value, so a trade may require salary relief, a smaller return, or another asset.
