Mark Vientos
data as of June 3, 2026·week 10
Vientos is a buy-low — contact is fine, BABIP is lying.
His actual wOBA is .284, but it is being dragged down by a BABIP of .250 — 45 points below the league average of .295. BABIP needs around 800 balls in play to be reliable, and he has 143. That gap is noise, not a loss of skill. His xwOBA is .325, above the league average of .315, and he has enough plate appearances to trust that number. His contact quality is good and improving: a 46.2% hard-hit rate, 10.5% barrels, and 90.5 mph average exit velocity are all above league, and his hard-hit rate has been stepping up. He walks less than league average, which limits his OBP a bit, but the core bat is intact. Buy low.
