Scout’s note

Call's hardest contact leaves the bat at 99.62 mph — more than six mph below the league median of 105.7 — and yet he is hitting .254 with a .686 OPS in 73 games for the Dodgers this season. That buys a +0.0733 luck gap, results outrunning the physics by more than 99% of qualified hitters, and it puts him third on the fade board. A third-round pick from Burnsville, Minnesota, in 2016, he debuted in July 2022 and has played 388 MLB games with 22 career home runs. The last five MLB games were .250 with one RBI, which is closer to what the exit velocities forecast. He is 31, a right-handed bat in Los Angeles, and the engine says the season line is living above its means.

Current signals

The read: Call's results are outrunning his contact by more than 99% of the 382 qualified MLB hitters we track — an EV95 of 99.6 (league median 105.8) doesn't usually buy this stat line. Gaps like his tend to close from above; No. 4 of 15 on the fade board.

Regime flagged: the sheet's out-year codes read arbitration and 2.161 reads pre_arb. Kept the sheet's; Super Two and optional assignments move this line and the service boundary cannot see them.

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

A second set of books

The same contract, read by MLB Spreadsheets (Ethan Hullihen), as of August 27, 2026. We keep two sources on this because one source cannot check itself.

Arb

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.
