Gavin Collyer

Scout’s note

Gavin Collyer's stuff grade of 0.88 puts him in the 99th percentile of the 827 AAA arms we track. The 25-year-old from Lawrenceville, a 12th-round pick in 2019, has fanned 23 in 25 MLB innings for Texas this season with a 5.40 ERA — the stuff plays at the top, the results haven't matched yet. A one-inning MLB cameo in the last two weeks produced one strikeout. Stuff is not command; this is a watchlist, not a call. But the arm comes first, and the arm is there.

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.
