Scout’s note
Seth Johnson, a 28-year-old right-hander from Concord, NC, drafted in the competitive-balance first round in 2019, has 57 strikeouts in 39 career MLB appearances, and his last three MLB games produced four of them — a reliever still working the edges.

What the sheet prices each season at
| Season | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 | 2031 | 2032 |

| Salary | Minimum | Minimum | Minimum | Arb 1 | Arb 2 | Arb 3 | Arb 4 |
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.

The scouting press, in their own words
I really like NC State LF->CF Rett Johnson in the 2027 Draft. Just a soph. He'll fly up boards. Just an 11% whiff in 2026 and a 7.5% whiff in-zone. ~12% chase. Elite athletic tester w more damage projection. 70 runner trending up. At least a plus glove. https://t.co/GpwuGHjmtD
Umpire favor
-0.9 net runs over 15 graded games — the zone cost the umpire more than it gave, on balance.
