Anthony Nunez

Scout’s note

Nunez's stuff grade of 0.94 ranks in the 99th percentile of the 772 AAA arms we track — the median is 0.04, and he's nearly off the scale. Fifty-three strikeouts in 49 innings this season, but a 4.41 ERA tells you what the stuff alone can't fix: command. A 25-year-old right-hander from Miami taken in the 29th round of the 2019 draft, he's on the watchlist. The arm is real; the question is whether he finds the plate.

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, Baltimore Orioles.

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.
