Brandon Young, a 6'6" right-hander from Lumberton, Texas, reached Baltimore in April 2025. In 40 career games he has struck out 180 — a lot of missed bats in not many appearances.

What the sheet prices each season at
| Season | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 | 2031 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salary | 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.

.@IlliniBaseball have a high end arm as well. SO RHP Ike Young dialed it up to 98 on his FB, sitting 95 96. It's a bit straight presently but will improve in time. Secondaries include two future pluses in a power CH and short, sharp SL/CTR. @d1baseball @PB_DraftHQ https://t.co/2R7IM3n9oI
How impressive are Jackson Chourio's playoff numbers -- and where do they rank? Let's find out The Brewers' 22-year-old star is having a record-setting October already. We put his young postseason career into context compared to baseball's greats. https://t.co/s7R7zUP349
Byron Nelson SS Sebastian Castillo might be the best hitter in the country. A natural with a bat in his hands, Castillo has drawn comparisons to a young Alex Bregman. The sky is the limit for the LSU commit, but will pro baseball come calling first? https://t.co/vmCqG8Wh48
Umpire favor
-3.4 net runs over 26 graded games — the zone cost the umpire more than it gave, on balance.
