Shea Langeliers

Langeliers is a buy — elite contact, no luck needed.

His expected wOBA sits at .390, 75 points above the league average, and he has cleared the plate-appearance threshold where that number becomes reliable. His actual wOBA is .394, tracking right with it, so there is no luck story inflating the line. The contact quality driving this is elite: 92.0 mph exit velocity, a 45.6% hard-hit rate, and 14.8% barrels — all well above league and based on enough batted balls to trust. Both his hard-hit rate and expected wOBA have been stepping up across the sample, so the improvement is real. He strikes out less than league average, which only adds to the foundation. The skill is here, the sample supports it, and the market should take notice. Buy.
