Scout’s note

Iván Herrera is 26, a right-handed hitter from Panama City who debuted with St. Louis in 2022 and now DHs with 14 home runs and a .242 line. The engine likes the contact more than the results: an EV95 of 107.385 puts him in the 73rd percentile of 372 tracked bats, with a luck gap of 0.0091 — barely above what the physics support. He's No. 206 on the breakout composite, outside the board's 20, and 11 walks against 15 strikeouts in his last 14 games suggest a hitter still calibrating the zone.

Current signals

The read: Herrera is tracked, not flagged: an EV95 of 107.5 (73rd percentile of the 375 qualified MLB bats we track; median 105.8) with results within 0.010 of what the physics support — nothing owed, nothing borrowed. The boards hunt mispricing, and his price is right. He sits No. 211 of 375 on the breakout composite; the board takes 20.

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

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.
