Sheets is a hold — league average, with a walk-rate edge.

His expected wOBA is .317 against a league average of .315, and with 412 plate appearances his sample is well past the point where that number becomes reliable. His actual wOBA sits at .313, basically the same, so nothing in his line is being propped up by luck or dragged down by it. The one thing that separates him from the rest of the league-average pile is his walk rate: 11.9% against a league average of 8.5%. He also strikes out less than average and swings at fewer pitches outside the zone. His contact quality is close to league — 87.4 mph off the bat, a 38.7% hard-hit rate — and his expected wOBA has been stepping up across the sample. There is no edge to buy and nothing unstable to sell. Hold.
