negative regression
Benge’s wOBA sits at 0.362, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.341 — a gap of 0.021, -0.8 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 663 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
