Regression watch
Running hot. Expect some cooling.
France’s wOBA sits at 0.387, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.322 — a gap of 0.065, -2.1 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 249 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
