-0.8σ gap
wOBA (actual)0.383
xwOBA (deserved)0.360

Alexander’s wOBA sits at 0.383, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.360 — a gap of 0.023, -0.8 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 258 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
