Wilyer Abreu
Abreu is a buy — elite contact, no luck needed.
His hard-hit rate has climbed across his sample, now at 41.5%, and that trajectory matches the rest of his contact profile: 90.1 mph exit velocity and a 12.3% barrel rate, both above league. His expected wOBA is .339 — .024 above average — and it is climbing too, with plenty of plate appearances to call it stable. His actual wOBA is .331, in line with the expected number, so there is no luck inflating his line. He walks more than the average hitter and strikes out slightly less, with solid chase and whiff rates. The skill is real and the underlying numbers are improving. There is nothing here that needs to regress. Buy.
