Dingler is a buy — elite contact, earning his production.

His hard-hit rate has been stepping up across the season, now at 47.0% — well above the league average of 40.0% — and the sample of 251 batted ball events is past the point where contact quality becomes reliable. That stability shows in his expected wOBA of .376, which is .061 above league average and also trending upward. His actual wOBA sits at .356, slightly below his xwOBA, meaning he is not getting lucky on balls in play. His strikeout rate, walk rate, and swing-and-miss numbers are all near league average, so there is no discipline hole to derail the bat. The skill is real, the trajectory is rising, and the production is earned. Buy. 5 HR / 23 R / 33 RBI / 0 SB / .249 AVG projects as a deep-league asset worth adding now.
