Regression watch
Running hot. Expect some cooling.
Caminero’s wOBA sits at 0.395, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.364 — a gap of 0.031, -1.3 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 720 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
