Scout’s note

From Santo Domingo, 23 years old, 335 games and 87 homers on the card already — Caminero's EV95 of 112.6 puts him in the 99th percentile of 372 qualified bats, far above the 105.9 median. His results sit within 0.0045 of what the physics support: nothing owed, nothing borrowed. He ranks No. 81 on the breakout composite; the board takes 20. Thirty-five homers, 84 RBI — fourth and seventh in the game — and the engine says he is exactly what he looks like.

Current signals

The read: Caminero is tracked, not flagged: an EV95 of 112.6 (99th percentile of the 373 qualified MLB bats we track; median 105.8) with results within 0.006 of what the physics support — nothing owed, nothing borrowed. The boards hunt mispricing, and his price is right. He sits No. 91 of 373 on the breakout composite; the board takes 20.

Regime read from his service time, not from the sheet — it does not project him past this season. Super Two eligibility is the top 22% of a class and can move this line in a way service time alone cannot see.

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

The same contract, read by MLB Spreadsheets (Ethan Hullihen), as of August 20, 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.
