Scout’s note
Hinds hit the ball harder than nearly anyone in Triple-A — an EV95 of 111.815 lands him in the 99th percentile of the 444 bats we track there, median 105.0. No luck gap prints for him: that measure needs major-league results and his season line is 13 games at .114. Drafted out of Niceville, Florida in the second round in 2019, he has the bat speed to match that contact — the .169 career average over 52 games hasn't caught up to it yet.
Current signals
The read: Hinds is tracked, not flagged: an EV95 of 111.7 (99th 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.

What he’s paid
Pre-arbitrationA market fact, not an engine read: what a club decided about him, on the season before this one. Figures from Cot’s, as of .

The deal 1 year (2026)
On the sheet: 1 y (26)
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, Baltimore Orioles.

What the sheet prices each season at
| Season | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 | 2031 | 2032 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salary | Minimum | Minimum | Minimum | Minimum | Arb 1 | Arb 2 | Arb 3 |
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.
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.
