Regression watch
Running hot. Expect some cooling.
Vázquez’s wOBA sits at 0.291, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.238 — a gap of 0.053, -1.7 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 260 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
