Scout’s note
A 2020 third-rounder from Southaven, Mississippi, Jordan debuted in June and has spent 58 MLB games hitting .247 with only three home runs — numbers that don't match the man. His EV95 of 108.6 lands in the 91st percentile of the 504 AAA bats we track, but the MLB value grid grades that contact at just 0.39, the lowest of the board's top-tier names. The swing is loud and the contact is real; the translation to damage has not arrived. He's 23, and the board still ranks him on what he hits, not what he's shown.

Current signals
The read: Jordan's EV95 of 108.6 sits in the 91st percentile of the 504 AAA bats we track (median 104.9), and on the MLB value grid his contact grades at 0.39. Contact is what this board ranks and all it ranks — no name is held off it.

What the sheet prices each season at

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.
