Frazier is a sell-high — the BABIP is carrying the line.

His BABIP is .329, 34 points above the league average of .295, and that gap is luck, not skill — BABIP needs around 800 balls in play to be reliable and he has 87. Strip it out and the picture changes: his expected wOBA is .256, 59 points below league average, and while that number is not yet stable at 137 plate appearances, it points the same direction as everything else. He is hitting the ball softly for a major leaguer — 85.5 mph average exit velocity against a league average of 89.0, a 19.5% hard-hit rate against 40.0%, and a 2.3% barrel rate that is a third of league. He also strikes out 27% of the time and chases 36.3% of pitches, well above league. There is a real skill problem sitting underneath the surface line. Sell high. Projected at 0 HR / 5 R / 2 RBI / 0 SB / .193 AVG — a drop-tier drag, so sell the inflated line before it collapses to waiver fodder.
