Output in context · El Paso Locomotive finished 4th of 12 · an upper-table side

2 clean sheets in 8 appearances (25% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (4th of 12) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 24.3, Waite carries the 3rd-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the USL Championship of 22 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
