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*.

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 142, Stick of 118, and Carry of 152, Kevin McGonigle sits in the 98th percentile, 90th percentile, and 98th percentile in those areas. His 180 Edge lands in the 98th percentile and ranks 4th among shortstops.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Kevin McGonigle's 118 Stick suggests he is vastly outperforming what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 90th percentile and ranks 5th among shortstops.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Kevin McGonigle's contributions to every team he played for. His 142 Perf is elite on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 98th percentile and ranks 5th 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 +2.3, pitching +0.0, defense +1.7. The strongest rated teammates are Dillon Dingler at 119, Keider Montero at 118, and Riley Greene at 116. Kevin McGonigle has carried more of the load than his individual results alone show, lifting his Carry to 152.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 22, Kevin McGonigle 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 436th among shortstops.
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 Kevin McGonigle. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 152 CE shows that the club is receiving far more value than the contract costs, placing him in the 100th percentile and 4th among shortstops.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Kevin McGonigle's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +86 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 100th percentile and ranks 3rd among shortstops. Kevin McGonigle would require a premium return in almost any realistic trade.
