Scout’s note
Goodman hits the ball as hard as nearly anyone — his 110.41 EV95 sits 95th percentile among 368 tracked bats, and results just 0.037 ahead of the physics. Warm, not hot; a little lucky, but well shy of the fade line. A fourth-round pick in 2021 out of Arlington, Tennessee, 26 years old and fifth in MLB with 34 home runs. No. 241 of 368 on the breakout composite; the board takes 20, and he is not in it.

Cash and the tax hit are two different rulebooks and are never subtracted from one another — see the payroll board for his club, Colorado Rockies.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salary | Minimum | Arb 1 | Arb 2 | Arb 3 |
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.
The Wire
▲ On the field: Hunter Goodman homers in both games since IL return, raising season total to 36 HR.
