France is a sell-high — his line is BABIP, not skill.

His actual wOBA is .373, but his expected wOBA is .334, and the .039 gap between them is the regression that is coming. The number holding his line up is his BABIP, .330 against a league average of .295. BABIP needs around 800 balls in play to be reliable, and he has 296. That gap is luck, not skill. The contact quality is real — 91.9 mph average exit velocity, a 48.3% hard-hit rate, 9.8% barrels, all above league — but his expected wOBA, which strips the bounces out, still sits 19 points above league, not 58. He chases 32.7% of pitches, above league. The bat is good; the line is better than the bat. Sell high. 1 HR / 4 R / 6 RBI / .235 AVG is a drag — stream the hot streak, then drop him.
