Scout’s note
Genao debuted on August 5, and through 20 major-league games the switch-hitter from Castillo, Dominican Republic, is batting .268 with a .677 OPS — light for a middle infielder, even a 22-year-old learning on the job. The consensus No. 11 prospect carried a Triple-A EV95 of 105.71 into the call-up, 60th percentile of the 465 bats we track — above the 105.0 median, but barely. His last 10 MLB games — .243, zero RBI, five strikeouts against two walks — show the gap between a prospect ranking and a contact percentile in real time.

Current signals
The read: The market calls Genao the consensus No. 11 prospect in baseball; our engine grades his Triple-A contact in the 60th percentile of the 473 qualified Triple-A bats we track (EV95 105.7; median 104.9). A prospect rank and a contact percentile are different measurements on different scales; we print both and reconcile neither.

What he’s paid
Pre-arbitrationA market fact, not an engine read: what a club decided about him, on the season before this one. Figures from Cot’s, as of .

The deal 1 year (2026)
On the sheet: 1 y (26)
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, Cleveland Guardians.

What the sheet prices each season at
| Season | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 | 2031 | 2032 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salary | Minimum | Minimum | Minimum | Minimum | Arb 1 | Arb 2 | Arb 3 |
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.
