Regression watch
Running hot. Expect some cooling.
Young’s wOBA sits at 0.339, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.330 — a gap of 0.010, -0.3 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 408 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
