Scout’s note

The engine reads 103.59 on EV95 — 19th percentile of the 372 bats we track, well south of the 105.9 median — and says his results are running 0.0355 ahead of the physics. Warm, but not hot enough to flag. Gonzales sits 342nd of 372 on the breakout composite; the board takes 20. A first-round pick out of Tucson in 2020, he is hitting .307 in his age-27 season for Pittsburgh. The contact quality says there is a bill coming, just not a large one.

Current signals

The read: Gonzales is tracked, not flagged: an EV95 of 103.6 (19th 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. 343 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, Pittsburgh Pirates.

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.
