Facts about his card and what it costs — never about him. A player can be excellent and have nothing listed.
Showing players who meet all 4 of these:
Breakout signal — Measurably better across two full seasons, while young for the level or after a promotion. A hot month is not a breakout, and neither is the momentum score on its own.
Young for their level — Roughly two years or more younger than the typical player at that level. Being young for the competition is the single best sign we have.
Catalyst — Something happened to him that we can evidence — a promotion, a call-up, an injury, a trade. Every sourced event we hold today is a level change read from the two official stat lines; dated events join as they are logged, and the row prints the event and how we know it.
Strong and young — Scores 70 or better all round, is roughly two years or more young for his level, and is not measurably fading. Three bars that already sit on the row, asked for at once — it is not a fourth score and it is not a verdict on his card.
Only 57 of 72 players have what this ordering needs; the rest are listed after them.

Who leads each ranking
The top three on each axis, over every player we track — not the cut above. Three of these rank the ballplayer; the fourth ranks the whole purchase, and they routinely disagree.
Hottest bats
Hitters whose numbers are climbing fastest.
Arms closest to the majors
Pitchers nearest a call-up. Ranked by how close they are, not by form — a call-up is the moment that reprices a card.
Knocking on the door
Closest to playing in the majors — cards often peak around the call-up.
