Keaschall is a sell — his bat can't support the surface.

His expected wOBA is .299, 16 points below league average, and it has been stepping down across the sample — not a fluke dip. His actual wOBA is .314, a bit higher, but that small gap is not hiding a better bat; BABIP is not the story here. The real problem is the contact quality: exit velo at 84.6 mph (4.4 mph below league), hard-hit rate 28.8% against 40% league, and barrels at 3.1% vs. 8.0%. All of those are well past stabilization and all are well below average. He does have elite plate discipline — strikeouts 15.2%, chases 22.5% — but that keeps his line from cratering, not from being below average. There is no luck to blame and no skill to wait on. Sell. 2 HR / 22 R / 16 RBI / 8 SB / .239 AVG makes him a deep-league only asset — sell to anyone chasing steals.
