Langeliers is a buy — elite contact, no luck inflating his line.

His expected wOBA is .360 — .045 above the league average — and he has 386 plate appearances, well past the point where that number becomes reliable. His actual wOBA is .347, almost identical, so there is no lucky bounce inflating his line. The driver is elite contact quality: his hard-hit rate is 44.7% (4.7 points above league) and his barrel rate is 14.7% (nearly double the league average), both stable with 266 batted balls. He draws walks at a league-average rate and his strikeout rate is exactly at league average, so the discipline is solid. The contact quality has been stepping up across the sample. This is the bat you want from the catcher position. Buy. 7 HR, 30 R, 25 RBI, .246 AVG — a deep-league asset worth adding at catcher.
