-2.5σ gap
wOBA (actual)0.390
xwOBA (deserved)0.308

Langford’s wOBA sits at 0.390, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.308 — a gap of 0.082, -2.5 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 208 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
