-1.5σ gap
wOBA (actual)0.385
xwOBA (deserved)0.338

Rushing’s wOBA sits at 0.385, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.338 — a gap of 0.047, -1.5 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 270 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
