McNeil is a hold — no luck inflating or deflating the line.

His expected wOBA is .306, nine points below the league average of .315, and his actual wOBA is .304, almost exactly the same. Nothing unstable is propping that line up or dragging it down. The contact quality backs the level: 86.6 mph average exit velocity, a 30.3% hard-hit rate, and 1.8% barrels, all below league average. He strikes out 11.2% of the time — less than half the league rate — so the contact is frequent, just light. His xwOBA has been stepping down across the sample, which means the near-average level is not headed toward a breakout. The value here is modest and stable, not a buy or a sell. Hold.
