Straw is a sell — the contact is weak and the line matches it.

He is averaging 86.3 mph off the bat, nearly three mph below league, and a 25.6% hard-hit rate that sits far under the 40% league mark. Those contact numbers come on 258 batted balls, well past the point where they become reliable, so this is not a small-sample blip. His expected wOBA is .292 against a league average of .315, and his actual wOBA of .288 tracks it almost exactly — there is no bad-luck story pulling the line down. The expected wOBA has been stepping down across the sample, which makes the gap look real rather than random. He does make contact, striking out far less than league and chasing less than most hitters, so there is a floor here. But a floor is not a reason to hold, because the barreled contact is not coming. Sell. With a projected 0 HR / 0 R / 0 RBI / 0 SB / .000 AVG, this is a deep-league drop, streaming-only filler at best.
