Marsh is a hold — average skill, no luck edge either way.

His expected wOBA is .301, sitting .014 below the league average of .315, and he has 568 plate appearances, well past the point where that number becomes reliable. His actual wOBA is .308, only seven points higher, so there is no big luck gap in either direction. His contact quality is close to league average across the board: 89.2 mph average exit velocity, a 42.6% hard-hit rate, and 7.9% barrels. His BABIP is .320 against a league mark of .295, but he has 390 balls in play against the 800 needed, so some of that extra average will regress and pull his line back toward the expected figure. His xwOBA has been trending down across the sample, which fits a league-average bat rather than a breakout. Nothing here is unstable enough to act on. Hold.
