Scout’s note

Ortiz debuted July 12 and has already put four balls in the seats across 13 MLB games, which tracks: his EV95 of 109.5 sits 95th percentile among 431 AAA bats, grading 0.43 on the MLB value grid. A 24-year-old left-handed first baseman from Bayamon, 5'10" and 230, built low and strong. The .306 average and .991 OPS in Washington aren't a small-sample fluke — the contact quality was there before the call. Pre-consensus means the tools got here first.

Current signals

The read: Ortiz's EV95 of 109.5 sits in the 94th percentile of the 453 AAA bats we track (median 105.0), and on the MLB value grid his contact grades at 0.43. The tools are ahead of the market — that's what pre-consensus means.

Regime read from his service time, not from the sheet — it does not project him past this season. Super Two eligibility is the top 22% of a class and can move this line in a way service time alone cannot see.

Cash and the tax hit are two different rulebooks and are never subtracted from one another — see the payroll board for his club, Washington Nationals.

The same contract, read by MLB Spreadsheets (Ethan Hullihen), as of August 20, 2026. We keep two sources on this because one source cannot check itself.

The tax AAV above is his number under the CBA’s own rulebook, not the average we work out from Cot’s total. On a contract with deferred money the two come apart on purpose — and neither is subtracted from the other.
