Kiwi asks…
Does the word "output" in this scenario has the same meaning as "ability"?
Answer from a Native speaker

Rebecca
"Output" in this scenario means the amount of something someone produces. In baseball, a player's output would be their general positive performance in the game. This is a very niche version of this term. It's not commonly used in a sports setting. Ex: Jim's output at this office is wonderful. He gets the most work done. Ex: Railguns have meager output but high damage.
