Running hot. Expect some cooling.

-2.5σ gap
wOBA (actual)0.355
xwOBA (deserved)0.268

Wade’s wOBA sits at 0.355, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.268 — a gap of 0.087, -2.5 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 158 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
