0.9σ gap
wOBA-against (actual)0.336
xwOBA-against (deserved)0.311

Suárez’s wOBA-against sits at 0.336, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.311 — a gap of 0.025, 0.9 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 66 IP. The results have been worse than the process deserves; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to climb back toward the underlying level.
