Reynolds is a buy — the contact is climbing and the skill is earned

His hard-hit rate is up near 48% against a 40% league average, and it has stepped up across the sample, with 436 batted balls well past the point where contact quality becomes reliable. The expected wOBA tells the same story: .355, .040 above league, and rising. His actual wOBA is .349, so his line is not being carried by luck — the production is earned. The one soft spot is his BABIP at .329, 34 points over league average, and at 436 balls in play that number is not reliable yet, so expect some of the batting average to give back. The rest holds: a 12.7% walk rate well above league and a chase rate under league average. The bat is real and still improving. Buy.
