Pasquantino is a hold — steady, league-average, nothing driving either way.

His expected wOBA is .329, which is .014 above the league average of .315, and he has 424 plate appearances — well past the point where that number becomes reliable. This is not a case of a hot surface line inflated by luck: his actual wOBA is .317, tracking almost exactly with his expected wOBA, so there is nothing unstable to sell. His BABIP isn't driving the gap in either direction. His contact quality is right at league average — 89.7 mph exit velocity against league 89.0, a 41.2% hard-hit rate against league 40.0%, and 8.1% barrels against league 8.0%. If anything, his xwOBA has been stepping up across the sample, which is a mild positive, but not enough to call this a buy. The discipline numbers round out the picture: a well-below-league strikeout rate and an above-league walk rate give him a safe floor without any spike. Hold.
