Suárez is a sell — declining contact, rising strikeouts.

His expected wOBA is .266, .049 below the league average of .315, and the sample is well past the 160-PA stabilization threshold. His actual wOBA is .296, only slightly higher, so there is no bad-luck story inflating or deflating the line. His average exit velocity is 87.9 mph, over a full mph below league, and his hard-hit rate is 31% — nine points below the 40% league average. Barrel rate is the one contact metric near average, but it is not enough to carry the profile. Meanwhile, his strikeout rate has ticked up over the sample, now at 36%, fourteen points above league average, which caps his upside and compresses the floor. There is no metric here trending toward a breakout. This is a bat that is below league and sliding, with nothing to suggest a turnaround. Sell. 5 HR / 16 R / 19 RBI / 0 SB / .187 AVG — a deep-league-only power source, but the bat is a drop in standard formats.
