Soler is a hold — league average, skill drifting down.

His expected wOBA is .304, just 11 points below league average, and both his actual and expected wOBA are stable at 310 plate appearances. But the picture is trending the wrong way: his xwOBA has been stepping down across the sample, while his strikeout rate has been stepping up and is now at 31% — well above the league average of 22%. That high, stable K rate caps his floor. His contact quality is close to average: 88.2 mph exit velocity, 41.3% hard-hit rate, and a solid 11.7% barrel rate, all past stabilization. There is no luck element pushing his line up or down, so what you see is what you get — a league-average bat that is slightly eroding. If you own him, the holding pattern makes sense. If you don't, there's no edge either way. Hold. 6 HR, 22 R, 27 RBI, 0 SB, .200 AVG — a low-floor drag; if you own, hold; if not, streaming-only.
