What is a 6 tool player in baseball?

What does the term "6-tool player" mean in baseball, and how does it differ from the traditional concept of a 5-tool player? Can you provide examples of players who are considered 6-tool players and explain what sets them apart?

Never heard of it before. A 5 tool player, on the other hand, is a position player who:

1. Hits for average

2. Hits for power

3. Is a good baseunner

4. Is a good fielder

5. Has a good throwing arm

I’m not exactly sure what the 6th tool would be.

i had never seen it before 2-3 days ago in an article saying tim tebow was a good baseball player. his coach said the 6th was character (leadership).

plate discipline and pitching are it.

5 tool has been and will be the standard.

pretty sure there are only 5 tools…unless the 6th is leadership or something…the first 5 are what get you PAID
