Aranda is a buy — hard contact rising, BABIP will give some back

His hard-hit rate has stepped up across the sample to 45.7%, well above the league average of 40.0%, and his average exit velocity of 91.2 mph sits above league and rests on 395 batted balls. That contact quality is doing the work: his expected wOBA is .349, .034 above the league average of .315, and his actual wOBA of .348 shows the production is earned, not propped up. The one number to watch is his BABIP of .343 against a league average of .295 — that gap is luck, not skill, since BABIP needs around 800 balls in play to be reliable and he has 395. So the skill is real and rising, but some of the batting average will give back. Buy.
