Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 39 → 28). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 37, top 30% of the 148 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 27 Ragen is in his prime years, and a market index of 19.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Ragen missed 6 games through injury (hamstring) out of roughly 37 this season. The 26 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.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 15) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 36.8, Ragen carries the 43rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer (top 30%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.62 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.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~19), then tapers with age. At 27, Ragen sits on 19.1, at or near its peak. The blue line is Ragen's projected Rating — 36.8 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
