Regression watch
Running hot. Expect some cooling.
Lile’s wOBA sits at 0.331, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.316 — a gap of 0.015, -0.6 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 426 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
