Mitchell is a buy — the contact is elite, even if the average gives some back.

A 52.7% hard-hit rate is 13 points above league average, and it is climbing. His expected wOBA of .353 sits .038 above the league average of .315, and his actual wOBA of .340 is essentially in line with it. The power is not a fluke — 93.2 mph average exit velocity and 11.7% barrels, both past the point where those numbers are reliable. The one drag on his batting average is a .387 BABIP against a .295 league average; with only 298 balls in play, that gap is luck and will give some back. His 31.5% strikeout rate is just as stable, so the floor is capped. The bat is real and the production is earned, but do not pay for the batting average — pay for the contact. Buy.
