Regression watch

Unlucky so far. Better days ahead.

0.9σ gap
wOBA (actual)0.264
xwOBA (deserved)0.294

Crooks’s wOBA sits at 0.264, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.294 — a gap of 0.031, 0.9 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 149 PA. The results have been worse than the process deserves; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to climb back toward the underlying level.
