Scout’s note

A fourth-round pick out of Scottsdale who debuted in 2017 and has 236 career home runs, Cody Bellinger is now in the Bronx hitting .259. The engine sees a bat in the 26th percentile of 372 tracked — an EV95 of 104.2, below the 105.9 median — with a luck gap of -0.016 that is close enough to call honest: what he hits is roughly what he shows. He's No. 184 on the breakout composite, outside the board, and at 31 the line is about right for the bat.

Current signals

The read: Bellinger is tracked, not flagged: an EV95 of 104.2 (26th percentile of the 375 qualified MLB bats we track; median 105.8) with results within 0.021 of what the physics support — nothing owed, nothing borrowed. The boards hunt mispricing, and his price is right. He sits No. 164 of 375 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, New York Yankees.

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.
