Scout’s note
Seven MLB seasons in, Paredes produces without impressing the radar. His EV95 of 103.3 sits in the 17th percentile of our 406 tracked bats — well below the 105.8 median — and the 0.0289 luck gap says his .262 average and 25 home runs are slightly more than the contact earns. At No. 363 on the breakout composite, the board won't touch him. He's from Hermosillo, and in 721 MLB games he's hit 117 home runs without hitting the ball very hard. The engine doesn't think that changes.

Current signals
The read: Paredes is tracked, not flagged: an EV95 of 103.3 (17th percentile of the 406 qualified MLB bats we track; median 105.8) with results within 0.029 of what the physics support — nothing owed, nothing borrowed. The boards hunt mispricing, and his price is right. He sits No. 363 of 406 on the breakout composite; the board takes 20.

What the sheet prices each season at
| Season | 2026 | 2027 |
|---|---|---|
| Salary | $9.3M | $13.3M |
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.
