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: 80.3% MLB and 19.7% level-adjusted minor-league estimate.
Minor-league estimate: 62.3% observed statistical weight and 37.7% historical peer baseline; individual tools use their own sample weights.

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 72, Stick of 72, and Carry of 77, Colt Emerson sits in the 3rd percentile, 3rd percentile, and 4th percentile in those areas. His 49 Edge lands in the 2nd percentile and ranks 63rd among shortstops.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Colt Emerson's 72 Stick suggests he is performing close to the level supported by his underlying profile. It also places him in the 3rd percentile and ranks 59th among shortstops.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Colt Emerson's contributions to every team he played for. His 72 Perf is well below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 3rd percentile and ranks 62nd 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 -1.7, pitching +0.0, defense +1.1. The strongest rated teammates are Randy Arozarena at 142, Bryan Woo at 130, and Cole Young at 109. Colt Emerson has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 77.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 21, Colt Emerson 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 127th 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 Colt Emerson. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 100 CE is close to a fair exchange between salary and production, placing him in the 11th percentile and 729th among shortstops.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Colt Emerson's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +8* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 58th percentile and ranks 294th among shortstops. Colt Emerson has modest positive value, though the market return would depend heavily on fit and demand.
