Scout’s note

Fernando Tatis Jr.'s EV95 of 111.49 is 98th percentile of 406 qualified MLB bats, and his luck gap of -0.0227 means the stat line owes nothing to fortune. He sits No. 29 of 406 on the breakout composite; the board takes 20. From San Pedro de Macorís, 27 years old, with 38 stolen bases alongside 25 home runs and a .289 average. The engine sees a player whose results match his physics exactly. Nothing flagged, nothing owed — one of the best players alive, priced accordingly.

Note written Oct 8 · FVR scout (GLM-5.2)

Current signals

The read: Tatis is tracked, not flagged: an EV95 of 111.5 (98th percentile of the 406 qualified MLB bats we track; median 105.8) with results within 0.023 of what the physics support — nothing owed, nothing borrowed. The boards hunt mispricing, and his price is right. He sits No. 29 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, San Diego Padres.

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.
