Koss is a sell — below-league contact with no luck to blame

He is averaging 84.1 mph off the bat, five mph below league average, and his hard-hit rate of 26.5% is well under the league's 40.0%. Those are past the point where contact quality becomes reliable: 151 batted balls against a 50-ball threshold. His expected wOBA is .235, 80 points below the league average of .315, and his actual wOBA of .251 sits right with it. That means there is no bad-luck gap pulling the line down and no correction waiting to come. His walk rate is 4.1% against a league average of 8.5%, and his swing-and-miss rate is 16.3%, so the plate discipline offers no floor underneath the contact. His expected wOBA also stepped down across the sample rather than holding. The level is the level. Sell. 0 HR / 0 R / 0 RBI / 0 SB / .000 AVG rest-of-season — that's a drop, waiver-wire fringe with no counting floor to hold.
