Regression watch
Running hot. Expect some cooling.
Lile’s wOBA sits at 0.338, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.327 — a gap of 0.011, -0.5 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 672 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
