Keith is a buy — the contact is rising and the line is earned.

His hard-hit rate has been climbing across the sample, now at 42.1% against a league average of 40.0%, and at 302 batted balls that contact quality is well past the point where it becomes reliable. His expected wOBA is .333, .018 above the league average of .315, and it has been stepping up as the season has gone along. His actual wOBA is .321, slightly under the expected mark, so nothing on the surface is being propped up by luck — if anything, a few bounces are still owed. The strikeout and walk numbers are both on the right side of league average, and his chase rate of 24.6% sits well below the 28.5% mark, so the plate appearances will keep coming. The production is earned and the underlying skill is trending the right direction. Buy.
