Here are the top 1-tool players of 2026 for each tool, the top 2/3/4 tool players, and the full list of 5-tool players.

Using Statcast, I looked at the 247 players who qualified in batting (xBA for average, xSLG-xBA for power), sprint speed, arm strength and fielding run value and ranked them for each of the 5 traditional "tools" for position players. A player is classified as having a tool if they rank in the top 50% (of the 247) in that category.

1-tool players are broken out for the top player who only has each tool, as defined by the largest difference between their tool percentile and their average percentile of their 4 non-tools.

The same metric (average tool percentile - average non-tool percentile) is used to choose the top overall 1, 2, 3, and 4 tool players. 0 and 5 tool players were chosen by the top overall average across all 5 categories.
