Carrigg is a sell-high — his BABIP is carrying the line.

His actual wOBA is .350, but the number behind it is not sustainable. His BABIP is .345 against a league average of .295, and BABIP needs around 800 balls in play to become reliable — he has 248. That gap is luck, and it is the whole difference between his surface line and his skill. His expected wOBA is .315, exactly league average and .035 below his actual mark. The contact metrics do not back the surface either: 88.0 mph average exit velocity, a 37.5% hard-hit rate, and 6.0% barrels are all below league average, with samples past the point where those numbers mean something. This call rests on the first stable sample of the season, and that sample says the production is ahead of the skill. Sell high. The ROS line reads 0 HR / 0 R / 0 RBI / 0 SB / .000 AVG — a drop-tier drag, so sell the inflated line before it reverts.
