Scout’s note

EV95 of 107.175 — 69th percentile of 406 qualified bats — with a luck gap of -0.0085: at 22, his contact and his results sit within nine-thousandths of each other. A 2022 first-round pick from Miami who debuted last September, Stewart has driven in 112 for Cincinnati this season, third in baseball, with 32 homers and a .787 ops over 162 games. He ranks 152nd of 406 on the breakout composite; the board takes 20. Nothing owed, nothing borrowed — and at his age, the engine likes that the price already matches the product.

Current signals

The read: Stewart is tracked, not flagged: an EV95 of 107.2 (69th percentile of the 406 qualified MLB bats we track; median 105.8) with results within 0.009 of what the physics support — nothing owed, nothing borrowed. The boards hunt mispricing, and his price is right. He sits No. 152 of 406 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, Cincinnati Reds.

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.
