How this leaderboard is built

Legends Deck rates every third baseman using real 2026 Statcast data. For hitters, that means the key inputs are exit velocity, barrel rate, xwOBA, sprint speed, whiff rate, and chase rate. No scout opinions, no card-by-card tuning — the same fixed pipeline for every player.
