Super Two is an exemption within the MLB salary arbitration system that allows players to become arbitration-eligible before reaching the standard 3 years of service time if they rank in the top 22% among those with at least 2 years but less than 3 years of service AND have at least 86 days of service the prior season.

Players with this designation receive a fourth year of eligibility and advance their salary progression by a full season, which can add millions in potential earnings during club-controlled seasons.

The service-time amount needed to qualify is not based on a fixed number and varies annually depending on the group of eligible players. The 2026 cutoff was calculated at 2 years and 140 days (2.140) which is the highest since 2012.
