Running hot. Expect some cooling.

-2.0σ gap
wOBA (actual)0.306
xwOBA (deserved)0.243

Koss’s wOBA sits at 0.306, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.243 — a gap of 0.063, -2.0 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 230 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
