Hitting for average
The ability to consistently make contact and hit for a high batting average. This player is disciplined at the plate, can hit to all fields, and has good control over the strike zone.
Throwing
A strong and accurate arm, which is especially important for outfielders and infielders who need to make long or quick throws to get runners out.
Hitting for power
​The ability to hit the ball with strength and drive it for extra bases or runs. A five-tool player can generate consistent power without sacrificing their ability to make contact.
Speed
The ability to run fast, which is critical for stealing bases, advancing on hits, and covering ground in the outfield or on the base paths.
Fielding
Defensive prowess, which includes quick reflexes, good instincts, and the ability to make routine and difficult plays alike. A five-tool player is often a reliable defender at any position.
A Five Tool Player
is extremely rare and highly valued because they can impact the game in multiple ways. Many professional baseball stars are considered five-tool players because they contribute both offensively and defensively at an elite level.
