Lopez is a hold — league average, and his BABIP is the only wobble

His expected wOBA is .324, just nine points above the league average of .315, and he has 616 plate appearances behind it, well past the point where that number becomes reliable. His actual wOBA is .336, close enough that nothing looks fluky. The one loose thread is his BABIP: .329 against a league average of .295, on 499 balls in play against the 800 needed to trust it. Some of that average is going to come back to him, and his expected wOBA has been stepping up across the sample regardless. The contact numbers are ordinary — 89.1 mph off the bat, a 41.1% hard-hit rate, 6.2% barrels — with the barrel rate a touch light. He strikes out 13% of the time, so there is a floor under the average. Nothing here to chase and nothing to dump. Hold. 1 HR / 6 R / 4 RBI / 2 SB / .278 AVG is deep-league filler, not a difference-maker — a hold, not a stream.
