Horwitz is a hold — the discipline is real, the power is not

His expected wOBA is .310 against a league average of .315, and with 451 plate appearances he is well past the point where that number becomes reliable. There is no luck story here in either direction — his actual wOBA of .319 sits right on top of the expected figure, so nothing is inflating the line and nothing is dragging it. What separates him from a league-average bat is the strike zone: he strikes out 16.2% of the time against a league mark of 22.0%, and he walks 12.0% of the time against 8.5%. That is a real skill and it will keep him in the lineup. The counterweight is contact quality — 86.8 mph average exit velocity and a 30.3% hard-hit rate, both under league — and his expected wOBA has been stepping down across the sample. The plate discipline props up the floor; the light bat caps the ceiling. Hold.
