Regression watch

Running hot. Expect some cooling.

-0.9σ gap
wOBA (actual)0.362
xwOBA (deserved)0.336

Sánchez’s wOBA sits at 0.362, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.336 — a gap of 0.027, -0.9 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 284 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
