Tatis is a buy — elite contact, with a little BABIP giveback owed.

His hard-hit rate has climbed to 53.9% — nearly 14 points above the league average of 40.0% — and his expected wOBA of .379 runs .064 above league, on enough plate appearances to trust. Both are trending up, not flattening, which is the part that matters. His actual wOBA of .358 is already a full 43 points above league even before the luck discussion starts. The one number that owes something back is his BABIP: .327 against a league average of .295. BABIP needs around 800 balls in play to be reliable and he has 503, so that gap is partly luck, and some batting average is coming off. The contact quality and the expected wOBA are the real story; the average will give back only a sliver. Buy.
