Scout’s note

William Contreras makes contact in the 78th percentile of the 406 major-league bats we track — an EV95 of 107.83 against a median of 105.8 — and his results sit within 0.021 of what the physics support. Nothing owed, nothing borrowed, and the board agrees: he is 104th of 406 on the breakout composite, well outside the 20 the board takes. A catcher from Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, still just 28, driving in 94 runs this season with a glove behind them. The price is right because the man is right.

Current signals

The read: Contreras is tracked, not flagged: an EV95 of 107.8 (78th percentile of the 406 qualified MLB bats we track; median 105.8) with results within 0.021 of what the physics support — nothing owed, nothing borrowed. The boards hunt mispricing, and his price is right. He sits No. 104 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, Milwaukee Brewers.

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.
