Meidroth is a sell-high — the BABIP is carrying a weak bat.

His actual wOBA is .328, above the league average of .315, but the number underneath is .292 — .036 of the surface is luck that is already stepping out of the sample. His BABIP is .335 against a league average of .295, and BABIP needs around 800 balls in play to mean anything. He has 390. That gap is not contact skill: he is averaging 87.3 mph off the bat, below the league's 89.0, with a 33.9% hard-hit rate and 4.1% barrels, both well under league. His strikeout and walk rates are ordinary, and his expected wOBA has been trending down. The bat is below league and the line is being propped up. Sell high.
