Scout’s note

A third-round pick from Del City, Oklahoma, still catching at 35 — and the engine says his barrel is livelier than a .205 line credits. Realmuto's EV95 of 105.625 is nearly even with the league median of 105.8, meaning his hardest contact is right at the middle of the pack, but his luck gap of -0.0692 says the results fall shorter than the physics warrants, worse than 99% of the 406 qualified hitters we track. He ranks No. 19 of 20 on the breakout board. Across 1,496 MLB games he has hit .266 with 191 home runs; this season in Philadelphia, 11 homers in 123 games and 100 strikeouts tell you the swing is still there even when the hits aren't falling.

Current signals

The read: Realmuto is hitting the ball harder than 48% of the 406 qualified MLB hitters in our sample (EV95 105.6; league median 105.8), while his results on contact run further below the physics than 99% of them. Loud bat, quieter stat line — the breakout shape; he ranks No. 19 of 20 on the breakout board.

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

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.
