Kody Clemens
Clemens is a buy — the contact is real and climbing.
His hard-hit rate has stepped up across the sample, now at 47.1% against a league average of 40%, and the trend line is going one direction. His expected wOBA is .340, .025 above league, and at 518 plate appearances the number is reliable. His actual wOBA is .331, a touch below the expected mark, so there is no padded line to give back. The contact quality backs the whole thing up: 92.4 mph average exit velocity, 12% barrels, both well above league. The strikeout rate is near league and the walk rate is a little low, neither of which changes the read. He is hitting the ball like a better player than the surface line has shown so far. Buy.
