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 121, Stick of 129, and Carry of 129, Munetaka Murakami sits in the 94th percentile, 95th percentile, and 94th percentile in those areas. His 148 Edge lands in the 94th percentile and ranks 9th among first basemen.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Munetaka Murakami's 129 Stick suggests he is performing below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 95th percentile and ranks 11th among first basemen.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Munetaka Murakami's contributions to every team he played for. His 121 Perf is excellent on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 94th percentile and ranks 11th among first basemen.
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 +2.7, pitching +0.0, defense +2.4. The strongest rated teammates are Miguel Vargas at 148, Tristan Peters at 130, and Chase Meidroth at 129. Munetaka Murakami has carried more of the load than his individual results alone show, lifting his Carry to 129.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 26, Munetaka Murakami 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 201st among first basemen.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 2 seasons control horizon, $17 million average annual value, and about $34 million in contract-scenario costs for Munetaka Murakami. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 143 CE shows that the club is receiving far more value than the contract costs, placing him in the 99th percentile and 10th among first basemen.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Munetaka Murakami's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +27 NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 95th percentile and ranks 15th among first basemen. Munetaka Murakami carries clear positive value and should return a useful major league piece or prospect package.
