Young is a hold — average skill, nothing unstable underneath

His expected wOBA is .321, which is .006 above the league average of .315, and at 342 plate appearances that number is past the point where it becomes reliable. His actual wOBA is .332, close enough that no luck stat is propping up the line or dragging it down. The contact quality leans mildly positive and the trajectory is stepping up: 90.4 mph average exit velocity against a 89.0 league mark, and a 46.8% hard-hit rate against 40.0%, both on 248 batted balls. His 7.7% barrel rate sits right at the league's 8.0%. Nothing on this page is unstable. A 18.4% strikeout rate below league gives him a floor, and his walk and chase rates are near average. This is a useful player with no edge to trade on. Hold. 0 HR / 0 R / 0 RBI / 0 SB / .000 AVG is streaming-only filler — a fringe hold, not a roster lock.
