Scout’s note

EV95 of 102.935 — 11th percentile, far below the median bat we track — and the luck gap of 0.0381 says results are running ahead of the physics. Warm, but shy of the fade line. Albies sits 347th of 372 on the breakout composite; the board takes 20. Out of Willemstad, Curacao, he debuted at 20 and has 177 home runs from a 5-foot-7 frame across 1,160 games. Twenty of those homers are this year. The contact is soft; the bill is small.

Current signals

The read: Albies is tracked, not flagged: an EV95 of 103.1 (14th percentile of the 375 qualified MLB bats we track; median 105.8) with results 0.036 ahead of the physics — running warm, but shy of the fade line. He sits No. 350 of 375 on the breakout composite; the board takes 20.

A market fact, not an engine read: what a club decided about him, on the season before this one. Figures from Cot’s, as of August 22, 2026.

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, Atlanta Braves.

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.

Extension

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.
