Scout’s note

Jahmai Jones has been at this since the Angels took him in the second round out of Roswell, Georgia in 2015 — a decade of bus rides for a .229 career hitter who has spent his age-29 season as a DH in Boston. But the engine sees a bat that isn't getting its due. His EV95 of 109.0 beats 87% of qualified hitters, and his results on contact fall further below the physics than 96% of them — a -0.0578 luck gap that, over just 101 balls in play, means he's hitting the ball far harder than a .206 average and .667 OPS can show. He's No. 10 on the breakout board. The sample is thin and the career WAR sits at -0.5, so the read is more promise than proof — but the contact is genuinely loud.

Current signals

The read: Jones is hitting the ball harder than 87% of the 406 qualified MLB hitters in our sample (EV95 109.0; league median 105.8), while his results on contact run further below the physics than 96% of them. Loud bat, quieter stat line — the breakout shape; he ranks No. 10 of 20 on the breakout board.

Regime flagged: the sheet's out-year codes read arbitration and 2.148 reads pre_arb. Kept the sheet's; Super Two and optional assignments move this line and the service boundary cannot see them.

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

A second set of books

The same contract, read by MLB Spreadsheets (Ethan Hullihen), as of October 12, 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.
