-1.3σ gap
wOBA (actual)0.332
xwOBA (deserved)0.295

Carpenter’s wOBA sits at 0.332, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.295 — a gap of 0.037, -1.3 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 283 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
