Scout’s note

At 33, Bryce Harper is still putting the bat on the ball with real authority — an EV95 of 108.145 puts him in the 80th percentile of the 406 qualified MLB bats we track. The luck gap of -0.0187 is as clean as it gets: his .269 average and 29 home runs across 162 games for Philadelphia are exactly what the contact quality supports, give or take a whisper. Las Vegas's most famous teenager is now a decade and a half into a career with 392 home runs, and the engine isn't seeing decline so much as a man who has settled into what he is. He sits No. 104 on the breakout composite; the board takes 20, so this isn't a breakout call — it's a read on a player whose price matches his production.

Current signals

The read: Harper is tracked, not flagged: an EV95 of 108.1 (80th percentile of the 406 qualified MLB bats we track; median 105.8) with results within 0.019 of what the physics support — nothing owed, nothing borrowed. The boards hunt mispricing, and his price is right. He sits No. 104 of 406 on the breakout composite; the board takes 20.

Cash and the tax hit are two different rulebooks and are never subtracted from one another — see the payroll board for his club, Philadelphia Phillies.

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.
