Regression watch
Running hot. Expect some cooling.
Waldschmidt’s wOBA sits at 0.340, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.297 — a gap of 0.044, -1.5 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 294 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
