It is only a projection. It knows nothing about injuries, trades or role changes.
Ratings from 0 to 100, computed from Statcast and MLB stats over four seasons, never by hand. 75 = established regular, 87 = 90th percentile, 95+ = elite. OV describes the abilities a player has shown over several seasons; it is not a forecast: for next season, last season's performance (PAL) tells you as much.

Replacement or prospect
WAR is fWAR (FanGraphs' version, distributed through MLB's API): wins added above a replacement player. PAL Rating scores performance from 0 to 100 against regulars in the same role (50 = median).

MLB's tracking of every ball, 2024 season. The percentile ranks the player among regulars in the role: 90th means better than 90% of them.
