Scout’s note

Brody Hopkins came out of Summerville, South Carolina, as a sixth-round pick in 2023, and the arm is what the engine tracks: a stuff grade of 0.81, 98th percentile against the 827 AAA arms we measure, where the median sits at 0.04. He has thrown 5.1 major-league innings for Tampa Bay across six appearances with a 5.06 ERA and seven strikeouts. Stuff is not command — this is a watchlist entry, not a call — but the raw material is rare.

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.
