Burger is a hold — average line, real power underneath

His expected wOBA is .314 against a league average of .315, and with 620 plate appearances that number is past the point where it becomes reliable. His actual wOBA is .316, tracking right with it, so nothing on the surface is being propped up or dragged down by luck. The contact is the notable part: 90.1 mph average exit velocity, a 45.3% hard-hit rate, and 12.2% barrels, all comfortably above league. That power comes with a 26.9% strikeout rate and a 17.0% swinging-strike rate, both above league, which keeps the batting line pinned near average despite the thump. There is no baseline or trend to lean on here — this call rests on the first stable sample, and that sample says league average with power attached. Hold.
