Brice Turang
Turang is a buy — real contact, and the average has room to give back.
His hard-hit rate has climbed all year to 41.6%, and he is making that contact on 418 batted balls — well past the 50 needed to trust it. The expected wOBA confirms the production is earned: .344 against a league average of .315, and that number has stepped up as the sample grew. His .344 BABIP matches that expected line, but BABIP needs around 800 balls in play to be reliable and he has 418, so some batting average will come back to him. The rest of the profile is sound: a 13.2% walk rate against a league average of 8.5% gives him a strong on-base floor, and a 10% swinging-strike rate below league says the strike zone decisions are fine. The bat stands on its own even as the bounces even out. Buy.
