Thus don’t worry about BABIP too much, imo. Use harder stats for better judgements. Your player’s ratings are poor and getting worse. It happens, and if OOTP does one thing we’ll, it’s simulating hot/cold seasons and rapidly declining players.

You ended up being right. As I cruised to win the 2026 World Series (thankfully, because my contending window is nearing its end), Nakashima rapidly ended up out of the middle infield rotation, with ended up as Noelvi Marte at 2B and a rookie SS vs righties and Justin Foscue at 2B and Noelvi Marte at SS vs lefties. Surprisingly, he didn't decline the demotion to AAA, where he continued to struggle. Thankfully, he just has one year left on his deal as he has a team option after the next season so he'll likely get cut or traded not to take playing time away from my young prospects.
