Greene is a buy — the contact gains are real and still climbing.

His hard-hit rate has stepped up across the sample and now sits at 46.0%, six points above league, and with 359 batted balls that number is well past the point where it becomes reliable. The contact gains are showing up in his expected wOBA too: .369, a full 54 points above league, and that has also been climbing. His actual wOBA of .366 matches it almost exactly, so the production is earned rather than propped up. The one caveat is BABIP at .361 — 66 points above league on 359 balls in play, and BABIP needs around 800 to be reliable, so expect some of the batting average to give back. The strikeout rate is high at 26.5%, but the walks at 12.0% and the chase rate under league average offset it. The bat is real and getting better. Buy.
