Austin Hedges is not in the top 10 contact hitters on k rate this season.
Austin Hedges is a defensive-first catcher with a light offensive profile through 53 games. His 22.5% strikeout rate and 19.3% whiff rate are moderate, while a 7.5% barrel rate and .058 ISO show minimal extra-base pop. A 5.8% home-run rate and 0.6% stolen-base rate mean offensive value is limited. The profile is built on pitch-framing and game-calling, not run generation.
