Massey is a hold — league average, no edge either way.

His expected wOBA sits at .307, essentially league average, and he has enough plate appearances to trust it. His actual wOBA is .313, tracking right with the expected number. His contact quality is near league average: exit velocity 90.5 mph, 41.4% hard-hit rate, and a barrel rate slightly below league. There is no luck story — his BABIP isn't elevated or suppressed enough to drive a gap. His strikeout rate is a strong 16.7% and his chase rate is above average, but his walk rate is below league. The xwOBA trajectory has been stepping down across the sample, suggesting no hidden breakout. He is what the numbers say: a roughly average bat. Hold. 3 HR / 17 R / 20 RBI / 1 SB / .228 AVG makes him a deep-league-only hold; drop in standard leagues.
