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*.
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 103, Stick of 88, and Carry of 103, Matt Shaw sits in the 82nd percentile, 26th percentile, and 78th percentile in those areas. His 94 Edge lands in the 70th percentile and ranks 28th among right fielders.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Matt Shaw's 88 Stick suggests he is outperforming what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 26th percentile and ranks 65th among right fielders.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Matt Shaw's contributions to every team he played for. His 103 Perf is around average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 82nd percentile and ranks 17th 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 -1.6, pitching +0.0, defense +1.1. The strongest rated teammates are Pete Crow-Armstrong at 201, Seiya Suzuki at 145, and Alex Bregman at 142. Matt Shaw 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 25, Matt Shaw carries a 107 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 65th percentile and ranks 60th among right fielders.
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 Matt Shaw. 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 78th among right fielders.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Matt Shaw's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +2 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 24th percentile and ranks 69th among right fielders. Matt Shaw has modest positive value, though the market return would depend heavily on fit and demand.
