De La Cruz is a sell-high — his BABIP is carrying the line.

The number holding his line up is strikeout-free contact falling in: his BABIP is .339 against a league average of .295, and that kind of gap is luck at a sample this thin. BABIP needs around 800 balls in play to become reliable; he has 58. His expected wOBA is .296, which is .039 below his actual wOBA of .335, and .019 under the league average of .315 — that difference is the regression that is coming. There is no anchor from his profile to fall back on here; limited data, and the call rests on the first stable sample of the year. His exit velocity (89.0 mph) and hard-hit rate (41.4%) are league average, so the batted-ball quality does not support the big line. Sell high. The ROS line reads 0 HR / 0 R / 0 RBI / 0 SB / .000 AVG — a drop-tier drag, so sell the window while it's still open.
