Griffin Conine
Conine is a buy — the contact is real, the average has some give.
His hard-hit rate has stepped up across the sample and now sits at 48.6%, well above the league average of 40.0%, on 183 batted balls — past the point where contact quality becomes reliable. The expected wOBA tells the same story: .363 against a league average of .315, and his actual wOBA of .366 tracks it almost exactly, so the production is earned, not a product of bounces. At 315 plate appearances, that number is stable. The caveat sits in his BABIP of .327 against a .295 league average. BABIP needs around 800 balls in play to be reliable and he has 183, so some of that average will give back. He strikes out 29.5% of the time, which caps how far the batting average can climb, but it doesn't touch the skill underneath. Buy.
