Regression watch
Running hot. Expect some cooling.
Mesa’s wOBA sits at 0.357, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.332 — a gap of 0.025, -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.
