Scout’s note

Jordan Walker hits the ball as hard as nearly anyone — his EV95 of 112.2 sits in the 99th percentile of the 366 bats we track, and his results land within 0.031 of what that contact should produce. A first-round pick out of Stone Mountain in 2020, Walker is 24 now and fourth in MLB with 90 RBI. The engine has him at No. 179 on the breakout composite; the price is right, not discounted.

Current signals

The read: Walker is tracked, not flagged: an EV95 of 112.2 (99th percentile of the 375 qualified MLB bats we track; median 105.8) with results 0.034 ahead of the physics — running warm, but shy of the fade line. He sits No. 182 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.
