Arraez is a hold — league average, stable, nothing to buy or sell.

His expected wOBA is .308, just below the league average of .315, and he has enough plate appearances for that number to be reliable. His actual wOBA sits six points higher, but that gap is explained almost entirely by his BABIP, which is .330 against a league average of .295. BABIP needs around 800 BIP to be reliable, and he has 359 — expect some of that average to regress. His contact quality is well below league: 87.0 mph exit velocity, 22.3% hard-hit rate, 0.6% barrel rate, all far from average. He does not strike out (4.0% K%), which keeps his batting average up, but the lack of power caps his ceiling. His xwOBA has been stepping down across the sample, and there is no unstable metric driving his line upward. Own him for the contact skills, but do not expect more than this. Hold. 1 HR / 23 R / 18 RBI / 4 SB / .299 AVG — a deep-league hold for the average, not the power.
