Scout’s note
Nuñez makes contact as softly as anyone we track — an EV95 of 101.52 sits in the 6th percentile — and his results are honest, within 0.0139 of what that contact earns, so the .209 average is less a slump than a ceiling. The Bronx-born second baseman, drafted in round 2 in 2019, stays on a roster because of his legs: 49 stolen bases lead the league. He ranks No. 281 of 406 on the breakout composite, and the board takes 20 — the engine's way of saying the run game carries the profile, not the bat.

Current signals
The read: Nuñez is tracked, not flagged: an EV95 of 101.5 (6th percentile of the 406 qualified MLB bats we track; median 105.8) with results within 0.014 of what the physics support — nothing owed, nothing borrowed. The boards hunt mispricing, and his price is right. He sits No. 281 of 406 on the breakout composite; the board takes 20.

What the sheet prices each season at

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salary | Minimum | Minimum | Arb 1 | Arb 2 | Arb 3 |
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.
Two sources, read a month apart, put this guarantee at the same dollar. That is the check, and it passed.
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.
