Scout’s note

A third-round pick out of Suffolk, Virginia, Lowe is 32 now and the engine says his 35 home runs are exactly what the bat should produce — an EV95 of 107.195 puts him 69th of 406 qualified bats, and a luck gap of 0.0208 means he's neither outperforming the physics nor owed a correction. He ranks No. 280 on the breakout composite, outside the board's 20-man take, which is another way of saying the boards trust what you see. Tenth in MLB home runs, and nothing borrowed to get there.

Current signals

The read: Lowe is tracked, not flagged: an EV95 of 107.2 (69th percentile of the 406 qualified MLB bats we track; median 105.8) with results within 0.021 of what the physics support — nothing owed, nothing borrowed. The boards hunt mispricing, and his price is right. He sits No. 280 of 406 on the breakout composite; the board takes 20.

What the sheet prices each season at

Season2026
Salary$11.5M

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.
