Blaze Alexander is a buy — the contact is climbing and the sample backs it.

His expected wOBA is .351, .036 above the league average of .315, and with 289 plate appearances he is well past the point where that number becomes reliable. The contact quality behind it has stepped up across the sample: 48.8% hard-hit, 8.8 points above league, on 201 batted balls — past the 50-ball threshold for trust. His 92.3 mph average exit velocity clears league by more than three mph. The one caveat is his .385 BABIP, which is 90 points above league and needs around 800 balls in play to be reliable; he has 201, so some of his batting average will give back. That regression touches the average, not the skill. The bat is earned. Buy. Deep-league asset only: 0 HR / 4 R / 4 RBI / 2 SB / .281 AVG won't carry a mixed roster, but the bat earns the add.
