90-Day Window · Model v0.5 · Run June 11, 2026

Sub-Batch B

The first cohort scored on the recalibrated engine. Fourteen players who were still in the minors as of June 11 with no MLB time this cycle. Every probability below was locked in public on the run date. The window closes September 9.

What changed in v0.5. The June 18 checkpoint rebuilt the CUS-to-CUP mapping from 28 real outcomes. The old placeholder capped near 58 percent. The calibrated table lets the top bands reach where the data actually landed. The feature set, the multipliers, and the pathways are unchanged. Only the mapping moved. Thomas White at 62 percent is a number the v0.4 engine could not have produced. The full patch is documented on the methodology page, and the outcomes that drove it are on the calibration log.

How to read this batch

CUP is a binary 90-day call-up probability. A score of 62 percent means the model gives Thomas White a 62 percent chance of a major league appearance before September 9. It is not a talent grade and it is not a prediction that any single event will happen. The methodology behind the CUP score and the v0.5 mapping change is public.

Most of the preseason Top 100 has already graduated to the majors, so this group skews toward upper-minors arms and the next wave of bats. The three Triple-A bats in the middle, Owen Caissie, Emmanuel Rodriguez, and Kaelen Culpepper, all sit at 33 percent on real organizational runways. The Twins cleared their infield at the deadline, and Miami keeps promoting. Org promotion behavior is doing real work in these numbers.

The speculative group at 22 to 23 percent is mostly Double-A talent, where the level itself caps a 90-day window. Walker Jenkins would have scored higher, but a shoulder injury reported in mid-June applies the injury-severity humility band, the direct lesson from the Aidan Miller miss at the last checkpoint. Two carryovers from the first cohort are scored fresh on v0.5 here: read the original Thomas White and Charlie Condon write-ups for the full context.

On the Batch A cohort, this cut the Brier score from 0.269 to 0.142 against the same predictions. That recalculation is a corrected score on resolved data, not a new prediction. The original 0.269 stays on the calibration log as the honest first result.
