Scout’s note

Ezequiel Duran is driving in runs at a career-high clip with 74 RBI in 130 MLB games this season, but the shortstop's production is leaning heavily on fortune. His EV95 of 106.23 barely clears the league median of 105.7, yet his results are outrunning his contact by more than 97 percent of the 381 qualified MLB hitters we track. That luck gap of 0.0513 puts the 27-year-old from San Juan de la Maguana at No. 13 on the fade board. Over his last 13 MLB games, Duran is hitting .340 with a 1.020 OPS, a hot streak that feels sustainable given a 28.9 sprint speed and a solid walk rate, but the engine insists gaps like his tend to close from above. Now in his fifth year in the majors, the right-handed hitter is outperforming the raw physics of his swing.

Current signals

The read: Duran's results are outrunning his contact by more than 97% of the 382 qualified MLB hitters we track — an EV95 of 106.2 (league median 105.8) doesn't usually buy this stat line. Gaps like his tend to close from above; No. 11 of 15 on the fade board.

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.
