Scout report
J. Ragen is a 27-year-old central defender at Seattle Sounders, rated 36.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 234th of 436 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (92.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.67 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ragen.
Judged on this season alone, Ragen graded 29 — a strong campaign that ranks top 30% of the 101 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 4 clean sheets and 2.666 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 24 → 29). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, 44th of 101 of the 101 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 27 Ragen is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Seattle Sounders finished 13th of 15 · a relegation-threatened side
2.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (13th 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 92.7% 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 36.3, Ragen carries the 44th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 101, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Seattle Sounders finished 13th 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 (2.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
