Lopez is a hold — average skill, inflated average on balls in play

His expected wOBA is .327, just twelve points above league average, and he has 687 plate appearances behind it — past the point where the number becomes reliable. That is the skill level: solid, unremarkable, and climbing. His actual wOBA of .342 runs ahead of it, and the reason is his BABIP of .335. BABIP needs around 800 balls in play to be trusted and he has 549, so part of that batting average is going to come back to him. The contact numbers agree he is ordinary: 89.1 mph average exit velocity and a 40.8% hard-hit rate, each within a rounding error of league. What he does well is avoid strikeouts — 13% against a 22% league average. That keeps the floor intact. There is no edge to chase here in either direction. Hold.
