Dingler is a buy — the contact keeps climbing and the skill is earned

His expected wOBA is .341, .026 above the league average of .315, and he has the plate appearances for that number to be reliable. His actual wOBA is .331 — essentially the same — so balls in play are not inflating anything. The contact quality backs it up and is still trending the right way: his hard-hit rate has stepped up across the sample to 42.8%, above the 40.0% league mark, and 9.9% of his batted balls are barrels against a league average of 8.0%. He strikes out 22.7% of the time, roughly league average, so there is no coming batting-average collapse. The walk rate of 5.7% is a real flaw, but it is the lone one. The skill is earned and still improving. Buy.
