-2.1σ gap
wOBA (actual)0.346
xwOBA (deserved)0.286

Chapman’s wOBA sits at 0.346, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.286 — a gap of 0.060, -2.1 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 364 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
