Scout’s note

George Lombard Jr., a Miami kid and the Yankees' 2023 first-round pick, is 21 and already in the big leagues. Our engine grades his major-league contact in the 68th percentile of the 406 qualified MLB bats we track — EV95 at 107.1 against a 105.8 median, with a luck gap of 0.0152 that says his .237 average is almost exactly what his contact quality earned. Over his last 14 MLB games he hit .281 with a .969 OPS and 4 home runs. The market ranks him No. 17; we print both and reconcile neither.

Current signals

The read: The market calls Lombard the consensus No. 17 prospect in baseball; our engine grades his major-league contact in the 68th percentile of the 406 qualified MLB bats we track (EV95 107.1; median 105.8). A prospect rank and a contact percentile are different measurements on different scales; we print both and reconcile neither.

Regime read from his service time, not from the sheet — it does not project him past this season. Super Two eligibility is the top 22% of a class and can move this line in a way service time alone cannot see.

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.
