Alexander is a buy — his hard contact is climbing and the skill is real.

His hard-hit rate is 48.8%, well above the league average of 40.0%, and it has been stepping up across the sample. That is already past the 50-batted-ball threshold where contact quality becomes reliable. His expected wOBA is .351, .036 above league average, and his actual wOBA is .340 — essentially the same, so he is not getting lucky on balls in play. The contact is earned. The one stat that will give something back is his BABIP, .385 against a league average of .295; BABIP needs around 800 balls in play to be reliable and he has 201, so some of that average will come down. That does not touch the power or the plate discipline. The bat is real and the results are following it. Buy.
