Hernández is a buy — the bat is earned, the average is not.

His expected wOBA is .333, .018 above the league average of .315, and 485 plate appearances is well past the point where that number becomes reliable. His actual wOBA is .334, matching it almost exactly, so the power is coming from the quality of contact rather than from where the balls are landing: 90.3 mph average exit velocity, a 45.1% hard-hit rate, and 10.5% barrels, all above league and all past their stabilization points. Both his hard-hit rate and his expected wOBA have climbed across the sample, which is the shape you want to see. The one soft spot is his .348 BABIP, 53 points above league average. BABIP needs around 800 balls in play to stabilize and he has 306, so that gap is luck and some of his batting average will come back. The skill underneath is real. Buy.
