Allen is a sell-high — his BABIP is inflating a thin bat.

His BABIP is .333, well above the league average of .295, and that number is doing most of the work in his .300 wOBA. BABIP needs around 800 balls in play to be reliable and he has 107, so the gap is luck, not skill. His expected wOBA is .252, .048 below the actual line — that is the regression coming. The contact underneath is thin: 86.0 mph average exit velocity against a league average of 89.0, a 28.0% hard-hit rate against 40.0%, and 1.9% barrels against 8.0%. He strikes out 20.4% of the time and walks 6.1%, both near league. Limited data here — no baseline or trajectory to lean on. The line is not the bat. Sell high. The ROS line offers 0 HR / 5 R / 3 RBI / 1 SB / .215 AVG — a drop-tier drag, streaming-only, so move him while the window is open.
