How this leaderboard is built

Legends Deck rates every closer using percentile-scaled 2026 Statcast data. For pitchers, that means the key inputs are fastball velocity, spin rate, expected ERA (xERA), xwOBA against, put-away rate, and zone control. No editorial opinions, no manufacturer curves — just the math.

Full methodology: How Legends Deck card ratings work.
