Running hot. Expect some cooling.

-0.2σ gap
wOBA (actual)0.404
xwOBA (deserved)0.400

Ohtani’s wOBA sits at 0.404, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.400 — a gap of 0.004, -0.2 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 622 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
