Regression watch
Running hot. Expect some cooling.
Cruz’s wOBA sits at 0.424, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.299 — a gap of 0.126, -3.2 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 106 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
