Regression watch
Running hot. Expect some cooling.
Neto’s wOBA sits at 0.346, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.316 — a gap of 0.030, -1.2 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 711 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
