-0.9σ gap
wOBA (actual)0.341
xwOBA (deserved)0.314

Smith’s wOBA sits at 0.341, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.314 — a gap of 0.027, -0.9 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 248 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
