Ewing is a hold — average skill, and the average will slide.

His expected wOBA is .320, five points above the league average of .315, and he has 492 plate appearances — past the point where that number is reliable. That is the whole skill story, and it is a league-average one. His actual wOBA of .311 sits just under it, so nothing in his line is propped up or held down by luck. The part that will move is his BABIP: .326 against a league average of .295. BABIP needs around 800 balls in play to be reliable and he has 319, so some of his batting average will give back. His xwOBA has been stepping up across the sample, and his contact quality backs the skill — 89.6 mph average exit velocity, a 42.3% hard-hit rate, both a touch above league. The bat is average and getting a little better. Hold. 0 HR / 0 R / 0 RBI / 0 SB / .000 AVG is a drop-tier tax — hold the skill, but he's deep-league only.
