Straw is a sell — the bat is below league and the contact says so.

His expected wOBA is .298, seventeen points under the league average of .315, and he has 293 plate appearances — past the 160 where that number becomes reliable. Nothing in the profile suggests it should be higher. He averages 86.2 mph off the bat against a league average of 89.0, and his hard-hit rate of 26.6% sits more than 13 points below league. A 3.1% barrel rate does not buy that gap back. The one thing he does well is avoid strikeouts — 13.3% against 22.0% — but that protects his batting average, not his power, and the xwOBA has been stepping down across the sample rather than up. The actual wOBA of .289 tracks right with the expected number, so there is no bad luck waiting to reverse. The surface is the skill. Sell. 0 HR / 6 R / 2 RBI / 1 SB / .232 AVG is a drop — deep-league streaming-only, nothing more.
