Scout’s note
Pete Alonso is 31, from Tampa, Florida, a second-round pick in 2016 who debuted in 2019 and has 307 home runs in 1,169 career MLB games. His EV95 of 109.5 puts him harder than 92% of qualified hitters, yet his results on contact still run below the physics further than 95% of them — a luck gap of -0.0564 and the No. 8 rank on the breakout board. This season for Baltimore has been his best: 161 MLB games, a .267 average, 43 home runs (third in the league), and 113 RBI (second), with a .885 OPS. The 435 balls in play are the largest sample on this list, which makes the persistence of the gap notable — Alonso is producing at a high level and the engine says there is still more in the bat. The contact is loud and the results are strong; they are just not yet as strong as the physics.

Current signals
The read: Alonso is hitting the ball harder than 92% of the 406 qualified MLB hitters in our sample (EV95 109.5; league median 105.8), while his results on contact run further below the physics than 95% of them. Loud bat, quieter stat line — the breakout shape; he ranks No. 8 of 20 on the breakout board.

What he’s paid
Under contractA market fact, not an engine read: what a club decided about him, on the season before this one. Figures from Cot’s.
- 2026 salary
- $33.50M
- Tax hit
- $31.00M
- Service time
- 8 yr 0 d
- Guaranteed
- $155M
The deal 5 years $155M (2026–2030) — $31.0M a year on average, worked out by us rather than stated on the sheet, and not the same thing as the tax hit above
On the sheet: 5 y/$155M (26-30) · agent Boras Corp. · 3 / 3 options left
After this season, as the sheet has it
| Season | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash | $33.5M | $33.5M | $33.5M |
| Tax hit | $31.0M | $31.0M | $31.0M |
Cash and the tax hit are two different rulebooks and are never subtracted from one another — see the payroll board for his club, Baltimore Orioles.
A second set of books
The same contract, read by MLB Spreadsheets (Ethan Hullihen), as of . We keep two sources on this because one source cannot check itself.
- Tax AAV

- Guaranteed
- $155.0M

What the sheet prices each season at
| Season | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salary | $18.5M | $31.0M | $31.0M | $31.0M | $31.0M |
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.
