Running hot. Expect some cooling.

-0.4σ gap
wOBA (actual)0.320
xwOBA (deserved)0.310

Yelich’s wOBA sits at 0.320, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.310 — a gap of 0.010, -0.4 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 518 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
