Scout’s note

Otto Kemp out of Fullerton hit the ball hard enough in Triple-A — an EV95 of 106.86, 76th percentile of the 439 bats we track — to earn a page here. What the engine can't do is tell you if his .080 line across 13 Phillies games is fair or mispriced: the luck gap runs off major-league results, and he hasn't logged enough to measure. The bat makes noise; the translation is still a blank.

Current signals

The read: Kemp is tracked, not flagged: an EV95 of 106.8 (75th percentile of the 455 qualified Triple-A bats we track; median 105.0). The engine prints no luck gap for him: that number is measured off major-league results and he has none this season, so there is nothing here to call fair or mispriced.

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, Philadelphia Phillies.

A second set of books

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.
