Meidroth is a sell-high — BABIP is inflating his line.

His actual wOBA sits at .322, slightly above league average, but the number driving it will not hold. His BABIP is .348, well above the league average of .295, and it needs around 800 balls in play to be reliable — he has 258. That gap is luck, not skill. His expected wOBA is .287, .035 below the surface and a full 28 points below league average, and that gap has been widening as his xwOBA has stepped down across the season. Contact quality reinforces the story: his exit velocity, hard-hit rate, and barrel % all sit below league average and are fully stable at 258 batted balls. There is no skill base to sustain the current production. Sell high while the market pays for the surface. 2 HR, 29 R, 14 RBI, 1 SB, .231 AVG — sell the surface before regression makes him a streaming-only drop.
