Aranda is a buy — the contact is real and still climbing

His hard-hit rate is 46.0%, six points above league, and it has been stepping up across the sample. That is the part of his game that stabilizes first — 425 batted balls is well past the point where contact quality becomes reliable — and his expected wOBA of .343 is climbing alongside it, 28 points above league across 668 plate appearances. The bat is real, and it is getting better. His actual wOBA of .348 tracks right with the expected number, so the strikeout rate of 24.4% is the only drag on his average. The BABIP of .340 is 45 points above league and needs around 800 balls in play to settle; he has 425, so some of that batting average will give back. The contact quality will not. Buy.
