Scout’s note

At 33, Bryce Harper's EV95 of 108.33 still clears the 81st percentile, and his luck gap of -0.035 means the game owes him slightly — results below what the physics support, though not enough to flag. The Las Vegas kid who debuted in 2012 has 388 career home runs and 1,123 RBI, and his last two weeks — 19 walks, a .333 average — show the discipline hasn't aged. He sits No. 56 on the breakout composite, running a touch cool, not in decline.

Current signals

The read: Harper is tracked, not flagged: an EV95 of 108.4 (81st percentile of the 373 qualified MLB bats we track; median 105.8) with results within 0.031 of what the physics support — nothing owed, nothing borrowed. The boards hunt mispricing, and his price is right. He sits No. 59 of 373 on the breakout composite; the board takes 20.

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.
