Moreno is a buy — the contact is elite and the sample backs it.

His hard-hit rate has stepped up across the sample and now sits at 42.4%, above the league average of 40.0%, and that number is past the point where contact quality becomes reliable. His expected wOBA is .364, a full .049 above the league average of .315, so the production is earned rather than a product of good bounces. His actual wOBA of .368 takes nothing back from that. He strikes out just 14.9% of the time against a league average of 22.0%, giving him a stable on-base floor. The one caveat is his BABIP: .330, above the league average of .295, on 354 balls in play when the stat needs around 800 to be reliable. Some of the batting average will give back. The skill underneath is real and it is climbing. Buy. The 1 HR / 5 R / 5 RBI / 1 SB / .269 AVG line keeps him a deep-league asset, not a must-add — acquire where catchers are thin.
