negative regression
Yastrzemski’s wOBA sits at 0.330, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.309 — a gap of 0.021, -0.8 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 419 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
