2026Snapshot
The offense is strong on discipline and weak on contact. The pitching is strong on command and weak on strikeouts.
They score 4.5 runs a game and allow 4.0, against a league average of 4.5. The pitching is the bigger reason.
The simulator says their game-by-game play deserved 90.3 wins. They have 76.

How to read this chart
- The dot is the simulator's best estimate. The bar around it covers the middle 50% of where that estimate could land. A short bar means a lot of evidence, and a long one means the sample is still thin.
- Where two players' bars overlap, the simulator cannot honestly separate them, however far apart their ranks are.
- The tinted halves split at the dashed league median, with the better side green and the worse side red.
- The dashed median and the teal league-best line cover the whole league, not just these players.

BB% vs HR%
League best:BB% Davis Schneider (18.6%)HR% Hunter Goodman (7.1%)
A bigger dot means more strikeouts, which is worse for a hitter.
How to read this chart
- Each face is one player on this roster, with BB% across the bottom and HR% up the side, both as a share of the plate appearances he took.
- Higher is better on both, so the best hitters sit top-right.
- The dashed lines are the league-wide rates this season, so a corner means better or worse than the league, not than a teammate.
- Tap a headshot to open the player.Hover a headshot for the player.
- The league best is named above the chart, among hitters with 50 or more plate appearances. More on the About page
3 more hitters have fewer than 25 plate appearances, too few to rank:
Pitchers

Season value
Who carried the team
Bars to the right helped the team more than a replacement player would have.
How to read this chart
- Each bar is one hitter's bat or one pitcher's arm, measured in bases above or below a freely available replacement player. Longer to the right is better. The tag marks the role: Hitter, Starter or Reliever.
- The rates behind each bar are the simulator's estimates, the same ones the rankings above use, and a two-way player appears once for his bat and once for his arm.
- The total adds up the whole roster, while this board shows the 10 biggest gains and the 6 biggest drags. Click a name for his page.
