Scout’s note
Moreno's EV95 of 105.7 lands him at the 49th percentile of the 382 qualified MLB bats we track — almost exactly median — and his results sit within 0.004 of what the physics support: nothing owed, nothing borrowed. The board hunts mispricing, and the 26-year-old from Barquisimeto, batting .298 for Arizona — 8th in the sport — is honestly priced. He ranks No. 194 of 382 on the breakout composite; the board takes 20. A good catcher having a good year, and the engine has no quarrel with any of it.

Current signals
The read: Moreno is tracked, not flagged: an EV95 of 105.7 (49th percentile of the 382 qualified MLB bats we track; median 105.7) with results within 0.004 of what the physics support — nothing owed, nothing borrowed. The boards hunt mispricing, and his price is right. He sits No. 190 of 382 on the breakout composite; the board takes 20.

A base salary under his own reading, and never subtracted from the cash figure above: a signing bonus lands in one and not the other, so the two disagree on most men without either being wrong. And the sheet does not mark which future seasons are GUARANTEED — a club option and a projected arbitration award are both just a number here, so read past the end of the deal as his forecast rather than as money owed.
Two sources, read a month apart, put this guarantee at the same dollar. That is the check, and it passed.
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.
