Nuñez is a sell — the bat is underpowered and the numbers know it.

He is averaging 85.0 mph off the bat — four mph below league — and hitting the ball hard just 21.7% of the time, with a barrel rate of 0.9%. Those are contact-quality numbers, and 322 batted balls is well past the point where they become reliable. They explain his expected wOBA of .266, which sits a wide margin below the league average of .315, and his xwOBA has been stepping down across the sample rather than building. This is not a case of bad bounces: his actual wOBA is .250, below even that .266 mark, so no suppressed luck stat is hiding a better hitter. His strikeout and swing decisions are fine — that is the problem. The approach is sound; there is simply nothing under it. Sell. 4 SB and .211 AVG the rest of the way is a deep-league drag, not a reason to hold — sell.
