Scout’s note

Ty France is having one of his best seasons — .295, 21 home runs, a .865 OPS for the Padres — and the engine says the barrel doesn't quite cover it. His EV95 of 106.42 barely clears the league median of 105.8, and the luck gap of 0.0509 puts his results ahead of his contact more than 96 percent of the 406 qualified hitters we track — No. 15 of 15 on the fade board. A 34th-round pick in 2015 out of Downey, California, France has scratched out 973 MLB games and 102 home runs, the kind of career that earns a man 133 games at first base for a contender. But his sprint speed is 24.7, and a slow first baseman whose line outruns his barrel has fewer ways to keep it there. The gap is the smallest of the 15 on the board, but the position and the profile leave him the least room to absorb a correction.

Current signals

The read: France's results are outrunning his contact by more than 96% of the 406 qualified MLB hitters we track — an EV95 of 106.4 (league median 105.8) doesn't usually buy this stat line. Gaps like his tend to close from above; No. 15 of 15 on the fade board.

What the sheet prices each season at

Season2026
Salary$1.4M

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.

FINAL: Brewers 3, Padres 2 What a tremendous game. Battle of the bullpens decided by William Contreras' go-ahead homer and a horrendous bit of luck for San Diego when a potential go-ahead shot by Ty France in the ninth clanged off the roof and was caught by Jackson Chourio.
