How this leaderboard is built

Legends Deck rates every third baseman using percentile-scaled 2026 Statcast data. For hitters, that means the key inputs are exit velocity, barrel rate, xwOBA, sprint speed, whiff rate, and chase rate. No editorial opinions, no manufacturer curves — just the math.

Full methodology: How Legends Deck card ratings work.
