Regression watch

Running hot. Expect some cooling.

-0.6σ gap
wOBA (actual)0.313
xwOBA (deserved)0.294

Straw’s wOBA sits at 0.313, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.294 — a gap of 0.019, -0.6 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 337 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
