Horwitz is a hold — the profile is steady, and the results match it.

His expected wOBA is .311, four points under the league average of .315, and he has 411 plate appearances — well past the 160 it takes for that number to mean something. His actual wOBA is .323, so he is not being carried by balls falling in, and there is no gap to sell against. The contact is a touch under league — 32.0% hard-hit, 6.2% barrels — but he covers it with a 15.6% strikeout rate, far better than the 22.0% league mark, and an 11.9% walk rate that beats league. Nothing unstable is propping him up; the one note is that his expected wOBA has stepped down across the sample, so the bat is drifting toward the lower end of average rather than climbing. That is a steady player, not a story. Hold.
