Abreu is a buy — the contact is real and rising.

His hard-hit rate is 43.5%, three and a half points above league average, and it has been climbing across the sample. That is the kind of contact quality that holds up: 464 batted balls is well past the 50 needed for hard-hit rate to become reliable. The results back it up. His expected wOBA is .346, 31 points above the league average of .315, and 681 plate appearances is far beyond where that number stabilizes. His actual wOBA is .335 — slightly below his expected mark, so the bounces have not even gone his way yet. He also walks 10.4% of the time while striking out just 20.7%, a touch better than league. The bat is good, the trend is up, and there is no luck inflating any of it. Buy.
