Unlucky so far. Better days ahead.

2.3σ gap
wOBA-against (actual)0.394
xwOBA-against (deserved)0.312

Webb’s wOBA-against sits at 0.394, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.312 — a gap of 0.082, 2.3 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 30 IP. The results have been worse than the process deserves; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to climb back toward the underlying level.
