Springer is a hold — average skill, nothing pulling either way

His expected wOBA is .306 against a league average of .315, and with 517 plate appearances that number is well past the point where it becomes reliable. His actual wOBA is .320, so the surface line is running a touch ahead of the skill, but not enough to call it luck. The contact quality sits just under league too: 88.6 mph average exit velocity, a 38.5% hard-hit rate, 6.5% barrels. What keeps him afloat is the plate discipline — an 18.4% strikeout rate well below league and a 9.1% walk rate above it. The one wrinkle is the trajectory: his expected wOBA has been stepping down across the sample. That is a slow drift, not a collapse. There is no BABIP story inflating the line and no cold stretch to buy into. Hold. A 0 HR / 0 R / 0 RBI / 0 SB / .000 AVG line is a pure drop-tier tax — stream and move on.
