Laureano is a hold — league-average skill, strikeouts cap the ceiling

His expected wOBA is .312, right at the league average of .315, and with 206 plate appearances his sample is past the point where that number becomes reliable. The contact quality underneath is fine — a 14.3% barrel rate against a league average of 8.0% — but the strikeout rate is the problem. He strikes out 31.6% of the time against a league average of 22.0%, and that number is stable. It has also been climbing across the sample, while his expected wOBA has been stepping down. His actual wOBA of .292 sits below his expected mark and below league average, with no obvious luck stat propping the line up or dragging it down. This is a league-average hitter with a real strikeout problem, and the recent trend points the wrong way. Hold. With a projected 0 HR / 0 R / 0 RBI / 0 SB / .000 AVG, he's a deep drop — stream elsewhere.
