Rogers is a sell — the contact skills aren't there to carry the bat.

His expected wOBA is .267, and he has the plate appearances for that number to stick — 171, past the 160 it takes to stabilize. His actual line has no bad luck dragging it down. Contact quality confirms it: 88.0 mph average exit velocity, a hair under league, and a 36.5% hard-hit rate below the 40% mark. That is the profile of a bat that doesn't drive the ball. The strikeout rate is 29.8%, well above the 22% league mark and stable, and it has been climbing across the sample. He does take walks at 13.5%, which keeps him afloat, but a hitter who strikes out this much with modest contact isn't a profile you bet on. There is no floor here to catch him. Sell. 0 HR / 0 R / 0 RBI / 0 SB / .000 AVG on the ROS line makes him a drop — streaming-only fringe with no counting floor.
