Scout’s note

Bregman's EV95 of 102.8 puts him in the 10th percentile of the 381 qualified MLB bats we track — the hardest contact is soft — but his luck gap is 0.023, meaning results match the physics exactly. Nothing owed, nothing borrowed. At 32, the Albuquerque native and 2015 first-rounder has 228 career home runs across 1,356 games. His last 12 MLB games produced a .234 average and .762 OPS with three homers. The board ranks him No. 339 of 381 on the breakout composite: the price is right because the book is honest.

Current signals

The read: Bregman is tracked, not flagged: an EV95 of 103.0 (14th percentile of the 382 qualified MLB bats we track; median 105.7) with results within 0.025 of what the physics support — nothing owed, nothing borrowed. The boards hunt mispricing, and his price is right. He sits No. 336 of 382 on the breakout composite; the board takes 20.

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.
