Ezequiel Duran
data as of June 3, 2026·week 10
Duran is a sell-high — the BABIP bubble is about to burst.
His actual wOBA is .359, but that number has luck written all over it. The cause is a .377 BABIP, 82 points above the league average of .295. BABIP needs around 800 balls in play to become reliable; he has 127. That gap is noise, not skill. Strip the luck away and his expected wOBA sits at .315, dead on league average — 44 points below his surface line. The regression gap is wide. His exit velocity (90.3 mph) and hard-hit rate (40.9%) are both barely above league, and his barrel rate (6.3%) is below league. This is a league-average bat dressed up in good bounces. Limited data, but the gap is already clear. Sell high.
