Regression watch
Running hot. Expect some cooling.
Ruiz’s wOBA sits at 0.347, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.274 — a gap of 0.072, -2.3 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 229 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
