Regression watch
Unlucky so far. Better days ahead.
Cavanaugh’s wOBA sits at 0.289, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.296 — a gap of 0.007, 0.2 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 167 PA. The results have been worse than the process deserves; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to climb back toward the underlying level.
