Caratini is a hold — near league average, nothing pulling either way

His expected wOBA is .319 against a league average of .315, and with 345 plate appearances his sample is well past the 160 needed to trust the number. His actual wOBA sits at .290, lower than expected, but his strikeout rate of 19.7% is below league average and his walk rate of 9.9% is above it, so the plate discipline is solid. His hard-hit rate of 39.5% and barrel rate of 6.4% are both near league average, though his barrel rate trails it. The xwOBA has been stepping up across the sample. There is no unstable stat driving his line in either direction. This is a league-average hitter performing like one. Hold. With 0 HR / 2 R / 5 RBI / 0 SB and a .217 AVG ROS, this is a deep-league-only hold, not a waiver add.
