Peraza is a sell — weak contact, and it keeps getting worse.

His expected wOBA is .272, 43 points below the league average of .315, and at 370 plate appearances the number is stable. Nobody is doing him any favors on the surface either: his actual wOBA is .276, dead on his expected mark. That means there is no bad-luck story pulling his line down and no suppressed BABIP waiting to give it back; the line is the level he is at. His contact is below league across the board — 87.5 mph average exit velocity, a 36.2% hard-hit rate, 6.0% barrels — and both his expected wOBA and his strikeout rate have moved the wrong way across the sample. He strikes out 30% of the time and walks just 4.6%, which gives him a low floor all year. The bat has no current case for a fantasy lineup. Sell. A 0 HR / 0 R / 0 RBI / 0 SB / .000 AVG line makes him a drop — fringe waiver fodder, no hold.
