Fluharty is a buy — his expected ERA backs the skill

His expected ERA is 2.83, 1.27 runs better than the league average of 4.10, across 263 batters faced — past the point where that number becomes reliable. The contact allowed backs it up: a .261 expected wOBA allowed against a .315 league mark, a 32% hard-hit rate allowed against 40%, and a 5.9% barrel rate against 8%. He gets swings and misses at 14.1% against an 11% league average and chases hitters out of the zone at 34.5%. His walk rate of 10.6% is the one soft spot — above the 8% league average, though his sample there is barely past the reliability threshold. The expected ERA has been stepping down across the sample. Nothing here depends on luck. Buy. 0 SV caps the ceiling, but 2.83 ERA and 1.34 WHIP make him a deep-league asset to stash before the role grows.
