0.8σ gap
wOBA-against (actual)0.322
xwOBA-against (deserved)0.302

Williams’s wOBA-against sits at 0.322, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.302 — a gap of 0.020, 0.8 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 190 IP. The results have been worse than the process deserves; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to climb back toward the underlying level.
