Scout’s note

Nick Gonzales hits the ball at 103.5 on our EV95 scale, which puts him in the 19th percentile of the 406 qualified MLB bats we track — soft contact, honestly. His results sit within 0.0246 of what the physics support, so nothing is owed and nothing borrowed; the boards hunt mispricing and his price is right. A first-round pick out of Tucson in 2020, he's batting .303 for Pittsburgh and ranks No. 345 of 406 on the breakout composite. The engine doesn't see a breakout here, and the box score agrees.

Current signals

The read: Gonzales is tracked, not flagged: an EV95 of 103.5 (19th percentile of the 406 qualified MLB bats we track; median 105.8) with results within 0.025 of what the physics support — nothing owed, nothing borrowed. The boards hunt mispricing, and his price is right. He sits No. 345 of 406 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, Pittsburgh Pirates.

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.
