Josh Jung
data as of June 3, 2026·week 10
Jung is a buy — contact quality is elite and production follows.
Josh Jung's expected wOBA sits at .362, .047 above league average, and he has 230 plate appearances — well past the point where xwOBA becomes reliable. His actual wOBA of .374 tracks closely, so there is no luck inflating the line. The foundation is his hard-hit rate: 44.9%, nearly five points above league, and the rate has been stepping up across the sample. He strikes out just 15.2% of the time, far below the league norm, which gives his batting average a stable floor. His barrel rate is slightly below league, but the overall contact quality is strong and the trajectory is upward. This is a player whose skill is real and whose production is earned. Buy.
