Jansen is a sell — the bat is below league and getting worse.

His expected wOBA is .255, which is .060 below the league average of .315, and he has enough plate appearances for that number to be reliable. His contact quality backs it up: 87.3 mph average exit velocity and a 32.1% hard-hit rate, both well below league average and based on enough batted balls to trust. That expected wOBA has been stepping down across the sample, and his strikeout rate has been climbing with it — 28.1%, against a league average of 22.0%, a number that is stable and caps his floor. There is no bad-luck story pulling the line down; his walk rate and chase rate are near league average. The skill is below league and the recent trend points the wrong way. Sell. 1 HR / 3 R / 3 RBI / .167 AVG is a deep-league streamer at best — fade this drop-tier asset.
