Bryan Hudson

Scout’s note

Bryan Hudson is a 6'8" lefty from Godfrey, Illinois, now in the CWS pen with 135 career games and 147 strikeouts. The one thing his last two weeks say: four MLB appearances, zero strikeouts — a quiet stretch for a man who usually misses more bats than that.

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.
