75 out of 100 — our all-round score from the season line, his tools against the level, and how young he is for it.
His best base card asks $55.99, over the $38–49.56 that card has sold in.
Closest of his is Charles Davalan Bowman 1st Auto 2025 Bowman… at $55.99. Needs a $17 drop.
Our take
Solid prospect, expensive market.
Charles Davalan scores 75 out of 100 (#180 of the 7,922 we score), and the case rests on one thing: young for the level — +1.0y vs his level at High-A — younger than 74% of the players there.
His core Bowman card has been selling at $37–62 off 1 confirmed sale.
The thing most likely to be wrong here: thin comp evidence — 1 confirmed sale in 90 days. Treat any value here as a single data point, not a price.
The signal
Young for the level
+1.0y vs his level at High-A — younger than 74% of the players there.
OPS slipping
1.276 last season to .939 this one.
Contact: plus-plus
10.5% K — strikeout rate, inverted — lower means more bat-to-ball Better than 98% at his level.
Moved up and held it
Low-A to High-A, though the prior season is a thin sample.
Premium position
CF — the bat does not have to carry the whole profile.
Power: plus
.242 ISO — isolated power — slugging minus batting average, so hits that go for extra bases Better than 90% at his level.
Why now

What could go wrong
Thin comp evidence

Benchmark not checklist-verified
His core card was identified from how raw base 1st bowman chrome auto sellers describe it, not from a checklist. The identity is likely, not established.
Asks above the sold band
Every live card of his we can price is asking more than these have actually sold for, so today's entry is at a premium.

The card that matters
A card-quality answer, not a price one. It does not change when a seller changes their mind.

The canonical prospect vehicle — every player who has one is compared on it. Identified from 2 independent sellers describing it — likely, not established.
A card is never the one to own because it is numbered. Scarcity is a modifier on a vehicle, not a vehicle — a /25 of a card nobody collects is a rarer version of nothing.

On the 20–80 scale every scouting report uses: 50 is average, and every 10 points is one standard deviation. Measured against 492 hitters at High-A — measured against real players at the same level right now — not a scout's projection of what he becomes.

+1.0y vs his level
years younger than the median player at his level — positive is young for the level
The overall figure averages the 4 skill rows only. The box-score row and the age row are shown but deliberately left out of it — one is the result those skills produced, and the other is not a skill at all.
The argument
skills at the 76th percentile of the cohort, production at the 92th — the gap between the two is ordinary for this level.
Nothing to arbitrage here: he is producing about what his skills say he should. Judge the card on price and the player on the grades.
How this is read: his skills average 76 and his production sits at 92, a gap of -16. That gap on its own means little — an average of several percentiles always sits nearer the middle than a single one — so it is ranked against the same figure computed the same way for the 492 players at his level we hold a full profile for, where it lands at the 25th percentile.
Will he get there?
Real chance 5.6 / 10
- old for High-A
- hitting well — 0.939 OPS in 484 PA (not ranked against his level)
This is an ordering score, not a percentage. We hold no outcome data and have run no backtest, so “a 93% chance of reaching the majors” would be a number we made up and you then spent money on. Built on 100% of what it wants to know.

Is this player getting better?
Down from 1.276 to .939 OPS, but he moved up to High-A — a step back at a harder level is normal — but last season was a small sample, so go easy on it.

What his cards have sold for1 logged sale
Real completed sales only — nothing here is an estimate. These come from the scan: it asks eBay about listings it has already seen, and one that ends at a fixed price is recorded as a sale. That builds up over days. You can add one by hand below if you happen to know it, but you are not meant to be the price database.
Only 1 sale logged so far. We need at least two to draw a line, and about five spread over a month before the numbers mean much. Add sales you find using the button below.
