Wong is a sell — the bat is below league and the numbers know it.

There is no bad-luck story on the page for Wong. His expected wOBA is .284, .031 below the league average of .315, and his 229 plate appearances are past the point where that number becomes reliable. His actual wOBA of .297 almost matches it, so nothing on the season is being held down by an unlucky bounce — his batting average on balls in play is not the problem. The contact quality confirms the read: 85.7 mph average exit velocity against a league average of 89.0, 35.8% hard-hit against 40.0, and a 4.6% barrel rate less than the league's 8.0, all past their stabilization points. The expected wOBA has also been stepping down across his sample. This is the level he is at. Sell. 0 HR / 4 R / 4 RBI / 0 SB / .220 AVG is a drop-tier drag — streaming-only, waiver fringe, and a fade everywhere else.
