Scout’s note

Bellinger's EV95 of 104.1 puts him in the 27th percentile — below the median of 105.8, softer contact than most of the 406 bats we track. But his results sit within 0.0017 of what that contact supports: nothing owed, nothing borrowed. A Scottsdale kid taken in the fourth round in 2013, now 31 with the Yankees, hitting .264 with 17 home runs. No. 277 on the composite; not a name the board is chasing.

Current signals

The read: Bellinger is tracked, not flagged: an EV95 of 104.1 (27th percentile of the 406 qualified MLB bats we track; median 105.8) with results within 0.002 of what the physics support — nothing owed, nothing borrowed. The boards hunt mispricing, and his price is right. He sits No. 277 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, New York Yankees.

The same contract, read by MLB Spreadsheets (Ethan Hullihen), as of September 17, 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.
