Scout’s note
Abimelec Ortiz's EV95 of 109.5 puts him in the 94th percentile of our AAA board, and his 0.43 contact grade says the ball leaves his bat with major-league force. The 24-year-old left-handed first baseman out of Bayamon has hit just .188 with a .572 OPS across 44 MLB games for Washington, and a four-game MLB stretch from late September went hitless. The gap between how hard he hits and what he shows is wide — that's the watch. Contact is all this board ranks.

What the sheet prices each season at
| Season | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 | 2031 | 2032 |

A base salary under his own reading, and never subtracted from the cash figure above: a signing bonus lands in one and not the other, so the two disagree on most men without either being wrong. And the sheet does not mark which future seasons are GUARANTEED — a club option and a projected arbitration award are both just a number here, so read past the end of the deal as his forecast rather than as money owed.
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.
