Pages is a buy — his production matches his elite contact.

His hard-hit rate has been climbing and is now at 44.5%, four and a half points above the league average of 40.0%, with a sample of 292 batted ball events — far past the 50 BBE stabilization threshold. His barrel rate sits just above league average, and his average exit velocity is right at the league mark. The contact quality is real, and it shows in his expected wOBA of .343, .028 above league average with 411 plate appearances behind it. His actual wOBA is .348, nearly identical, so there is no luck inflating his line. He strikes out at a below-average 19.5% rate and walks at a league-average clip. This is a player hitting the ball hard and earning his results. Buy. That 5 HR / 28 R / 40 RBI / 6 SB /.247 AVG line makes him a deep-league asset worth acquiring.
