Judged on this season alone, Bye graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 38th of 54 of the 54 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 1 clean sheet and 2.403 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 16 → 10). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 41st of 54 of the 54 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 30 Bye is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
