Tell me any player that has had any sustained success with those underlying metrics. I’ll be waiting

I dont know, from this discussion I just think you don't really know what you're talking about when it comes to evaluating players and how they end up at their statlines. Let me ask you this. What has Hiura improved on from 2020 and 2021 where he was unplayable besides "His obp and ops"?
-
Okay. Hiura - 81 DRC+, 43%K rate, 412 babip (Over 500 vs RHP!) Adames - 95 DRC+, 27%K rate, 233 babip. If you can't see the difference in quality of hitters and their luck this year then there is nothing to discuss.
-
My red flags go up when you can't distinguish between the quality of hitters Hiura and Adames are.
-
Why what? It can't be hard to understand that if you can't make contact all that often you will have less ability to impact the game in a positive way. His outcomes when making contact this year have been extremely lucky to this point. Hes basically been Joey Gallo with better luck, and you can go ask a Yankee fan what they think about Joey Gallo right now. (I'd be in favor of the Brewers acquiring Gallo for CF but thats a different discussion lol).

The point is the OPS that he has is not sustainable given the underlying metrics (K rate, BABIP) vs RHP. You can look at the production that he has had all you want, but he is very likely a below average hitter when you give him a large sample size at the major league level. This was seen in both 2020 and 2021!

Some of the Hiura opinions are wild to me. Send down Caratini in the middle of a division race to make room for him? He has been their 4th most valuable position player via fwar in only 50 games and has a 117 wrc+ at catcher. Not to mention Narvaez has been in a large prolonged slump. Hiura has a 43% krate with a 512 babip vs RHP, I'm sorry but the results he's had to this point vs RHP were not sustainable at the major league level.
