Mack is a hold — near league average, no edge either way.

His expected wOBA sits at .311, essentially league average, and the sample has cleared the stabilization point for reliability. But that number has been stepping down across the sample, which means the trending is backward rather than forward. His contact quality stats — exit velocity, hard-hit rate, barrel rate — all hover around league average, and his strikeout and walk rates are similarly unexceptional. Nothing here is unstable enough to suggest a pending breakout or a regression. He strikes out at a slightly above-average clip and walks below the league rate, but the gaps are small. There is no luck story driving his line, no hidden skill to buy, and no mirage to sell. He is what the numbers show: a roughly average player. Hold. At 3 HR with no SB and a .241 AVG, he's a borderline drop in shallower leagues.
