Jo Adell

Adell is a hold — league-average bat with a rising expected line.

His expected wOBA is .329, up across the sample and sitting .014 above the league average of .315, and 660 plate appearances is well past the point where that number becomes reliable. His actual wOBA is .307, so the line is trailing his expected production — but the gap is small enough to call it sequencing, not a slump with an easy fix. The contact quality is solid: 90.4 mph average exit velocity, a 44.9% hard-hit rate, and 8.9% barrels, all past the batted-ball sample that makes them meaningful. The drag is plate discipline. He swings and misses 15% of the time, chases 35.3% of pitches off the plate, and walks just 5.2% of the time, which caps how much good contact can show up on the stat line. There is a real bat here, just not one the numbers say to chase. Hold.
