Abreu is a buy — the contact quality keeps climbing.

His hard-hit rate has stepped up across the sample and now sits at 43.5%, 3.5 points above the league average of 40%. His expected wOBA has climbed with it to .347, which is .032 above the league average of .315, and his 620 plate appearances are far past the point where that number becomes reliable. His actual wOBA is .344, right in line with the expected mark, so nothing in his line is being propped up by bounces. He strikes out less than league average (20.3%) and walks more (10.6%), a profile that keeps the production stable week to week. The skill is real and it is still improving. Buy.
