Scout report
B. Raines is a 21-year-old central midfielder at Houston Dynamo, rated 41.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 95th of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer and 1651st of 2874 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a regular starter this season (61% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.75 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Raines.
Judged on this season alone, Raines graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 65th of 84 of the 84 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 2.751 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 13). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, top 20% of the 84 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 21 Raines is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Raines missed 3 games through injury (international duty) out of roughly 34 this season. The 22 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
A career still climbing — Raines is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Houston Dynamo finished 12th of 15 · a lower-table side
2.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th of 15) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 61% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 41.8, Raines carries the 16th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer (top 20%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Houston Dynamo finished 12th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
