Regression watch
Running hot. Expect some cooling.
Grichuk’s wOBA sits at 0.383, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.334 — a gap of 0.049, -1.7 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 314 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
