Scout’s note

Seven outings, 32 innings, a 7.03 ERA — thin and unkind for Whisenhunt, a 25-year-old left-hander from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, drafted in the second round in 2022. He sits in the Index ungraded: the stuff model is stability-tested but not outcome-validated, and no arm gets a board flag from it. The ERA-FIP gap did clear the bar, and we file arm regression calls by hand from that. Thirty-nine strikeouts in 12 career games for the 6'3" southpaw, with a regression call on file.

Current signals

The read: Whisenhunt is in the Index ungraded, on purpose: our stuff model is stability-tested but not outcome-validated, so no big-league arm gets a board flag from it — not even one of the best seasons in the sport. (Calls are another matter: the ERA-FIP luck gap did clear the bar, and we file arm regression calls by hand from it.) The page is here because the player matters; the board grade waits for the science.

Regime read from his service time, not from the sheet — it does not project him past this season. Super Two eligibility is the top 22% of a class and can move this line in a way service time alone cannot see.

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

The same contract, read by MLB Spreadsheets (Ethan Hullihen), as of August 20, 2026. We keep two sources on this because one source cannot check itself.

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.
