Sam Bachman
Bachman is a hold — league-average skill, nothing exaggerating either side.
His expected ERA is 4.03, a hair under the league average of 4.10, and his sample of 217 batters is past the point where that number becomes reliable. That stability holds up across his profile: his expected wOBA allowed of .309 sits just under the league's .315, and his strikeout rate of 22.6% is dead on league average. The walk rate is the one part of the profile that will make him frustrating: 13.4%, more than five points above league, and it is stable at 217 batters faced. He makes up for some of that with a 14.6% swinging-strike rate, well above league, and his expected ERA has been stepping down as the sample grew. No luck stat is pulling the line in either direction—this is the level he's at. Hold. 0 K / 3.91 ERA / 1.44 WHIP at a drop-tier cost is waiver-wire filler; hold what you have, but this is no asset.
