Bazzana is a sell — below-league contact and no luck to blame

His expected wOBA is .299, .016 below the league average of .315, and he has 517 plate appearances behind it — well past the point where that number becomes reliable. The gap between his actual wOBA of .328 and that expected mark is the whole problem: his line reads above league, but his contact quality doesn't earn it. He averages 87.6 mph off the bat, a tick below league, with a 36.2% hard-hit rate and 5.2% barrels — both below the league marks across a 347-batted-ball sample. His expected wOBA has been stepping down as the sample filled in, which is the wrong direction for anyone buying the production. His plate discipline is fine; that only means the outcome is the outcome. The bat is what the numbers say it is. Sell. A 0 HR / 0 R / 0 RBI / 0 SB / .000 AVG line is pure drop-tier — fade the production, cut the tax.
