Regression watch
Running hot. Expect some cooling.
Delauter’s wOBA sits at 0.393, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.345 — a gap of 0.048, -1.9 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 574 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
