Smith is a hold — his expected line is league average, with a rising trend

His expected wOBA is .316, which is essentially the league average of .315, and he has 568 plate appearances — well past the 160 needed for that number to be reliable. His actual wOBA is .293, 22 points below the expected figure, so the results have run a touch under his contact quality. The contact itself is slightly better than league: 43.5% hard-hit and 11.1% barrels, both above average across 368 batted balls. The expected wOBA has been stepping up across the sample, which is the most interesting piece here. The drag is his strikeout rate — 26.1%, four points above league — with a 14.1% swinging-strike rate that runs high. That caps the batting average without sinking the profile. There is no luck stat inflating or masking the line. Hold. A 0 HR / 0 R / 0 RBI / 0 SB / .000 AVG line is waiver-wire fringe; hold is fine, but this is drop-tier, deep-league only.
