Eldridge is a buy — the contact is earned, the BABIP is noise
His hard-hit rate of 52.2% is 12 points above league average and his sample of 251 batted balls is past the point where contact quality becomes reliable — and it is stepping up across the sample. His expected wOBA of .358, .043 above league, says the production is earned rather than accidental. The one number that isn't trustworthy yet is his BABIP: .336 against a league average of .295, on 251 balls in play. BABIP needs around 800 balls in play to be reliable, and he is far short of that. So some of his batting average will give back. That doesn't change the bat — his contact quality is the real thing and the plate discipline supports it, with a 13.2% walk rate well above league. Buy.
