Call is a sell — weak contact, no luck excuse

His expected wOBA is .281, 34 points below the league average of .315, and 181 plate appearances is past the point where that number becomes reliable. The gap is not luck. His average exit velocity is 84.0 mph, five mph below league, and his hard-hit rate is 16.0% against a league average of 40.0%. A 1.7% barrel rate on 119 batted balls confirms the picture: he is not squaring the ball up. The plate discipline is fine — 18.8% strikeouts, 11.6% walks — but discipline without contact quality has a low ceiling, and his expected wOBA has been stepping down across the sample rather than stabilizing upward. There is no slump waiting to break. This is the level. Sell. A projected 0 HR / 5 R / 6 RBI / .219 AVG makes him a drop, deep-league streaming-only at best.
