Baty is a hold — average skill, average line, no edge here

His expected wOBA is .321, just six points above the league average of .315, and he has 473 plate appearances — well past the 160 it takes for that number to be reliable. The underlying contact supports it: 90.4 mph average exit velocity, a 42.0% hard-hit rate, and 10.3% barrels, all modestly above league and built on 300 batted balls. His actual wOBA sits at .304, a touch below his expected mark, so his production is tracking his skill with no luck skew either way. The one real drag is a 26.4% strikeout rate, well above the 22.0% league mark, though his 9.3% walk rate offsets some of it. His expected wOBA has been stepping up across the sample, but the gain is small and lands him near the middle. There is no signal pulling this either direction. Hold. The ROS line reads 0 HR / 0 R / 0 RBI / 0 SB / .000 AVG — a drop-tier tax at third base, so don't chase it.
