Larnach is a hold — league-average skill, nothing to chase.

His expected wOBA is .342, just above the .315 league average, and he has enough plate appearances for that number to be reliable. His actual wOBA (.366) is a bit higher, but that small gap is largely explained by his BABIP (.337 vs. .295 league average). BABIP needs around 800 balls in play to stabilize, and he has 204, so some regression in average is likely. The underlying contact quality is mixed: exit velocity (87.4 mph) and hard-hit rate (35.3%) are below league, while barrel rate (7.4%) is near average. He walks at an above-average clip (11.7%) and strikes out less than league average (17.2%), which gives him a solid floor. The xwOBA has been stepping up across the sample, but the overall profile is roughly league average with no unstable metric pulling it one way or the other. Hold. 4 HR in the projected line caps the ceiling — a deep-league hold for counting stats.
