Contreras is a buy — the contact is climbing and the floor holds.

His hard-hit rate sits at 44.1%, above the league average of 40.0%, and that number is still stepping up across the sample. Contact quality stabilizes fast, and with 481 batted balls he is well past the point where it means anything but skill. His exit velocity is 90.3 mph against a league average of 89.0. The expected wOBA tells the same story: .334, .019 above league, stable across 640 plate appearances. His actual wOBA is .330 — four points off — so nothing on the line is being propped up by luck. The floor is what separates him: a 14.7% strikeout rate against a 22.0% league average. The bat is real and the league should treat it that way. Buy.
