Crow-Armstrong is a buy — the contact is climbing and earned.

His hard-hit rate is 48.6% against a league average of 40.0%, and it has been stepping up across the sample. That contact quality is already stable at 444 batted balls, so it is not a small-sample fluke — he is squaring the ball up more as the season moves. The expected wOBA backs it: .374, .059 above league average, on 726 plate appearances, well past the point where that number becomes reliable. His actual wOBA of .400 runs slightly ahead of it, and his BABIP of .327 against a league average of .295 is the reason — that number needs 800 balls in play to trust and he has 444, so some of the batting average will give back. The power and the on-base skill will not. The bat is real and the results have not caught up to what the contact says. Buy.
