Scout’s note
Jarren Duran can run — a 29.0 sprint speed — and the engine says he can hit, too, harder than 91 percent of qualified MLB hitters at an EV95 of 109.39. What the results have not done is keep pace: his contact outcomes fall below the physics more than 93 percent of the time, a luck gap of -0.0509 that puts him at No. 14 on the breakout board. A seventh-round pick from Corona, California, in 2018, he debuted in 2021 and has played 661 MLB games with 112 steals and a .254 career average. This season in Boston the average has dropped to .207 across 151 games, though 20 home runs and 69 RBI suggest the power has held. At 30, with a 0.5 WAR that undersells the contact profile, the question is whether the speed and the barrel can finally meet in the same season.

Current signals
The read: Duran is hitting the ball harder than 91% of the 406 qualified MLB hitters in our sample (EV95 109.4; league median 105.8), while his results on contact run further below the physics than 93% of them. Loud bat, quieter stat line — the breakout shape; he ranks No. 14 of 20 on the breakout board.

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.
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.
