Scout’s note

Moniak is 28, from Encinitas, California, a 2016 first-round pick who has found something in Colorado — .257 average, .821 OPS, 21 home runs, 60 RBI in 93 games, the best season of a career that took a while to arrive. His EV95 of 106.02 barely clears the league median of 105.9, and a luck gap of 0.0749 puts him in the 99th percentile for results outpacing contact, No. 3 on the fade board. The last two weeks — .163 with a .522 OPS in 11 games — already look like the gap starting to close, and 494 strikeouts in 503 career games say the swing-and-miss is part of the package. Coors Field can do a lot for a bat. The question is whether it can keep doing this much.

Current signals

The read: Moniak's results are outrunning his contact by more than 99% of the 373 qualified MLB hitters we track — an EV95 of 106.0 (league median 105.8) doesn't usually buy this stat line. Gaps like his tend to close from above; No. 3 of 15 on the fade board.

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

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.
