Regression watch
Running hot. Expect some cooling.
Yelich’s wOBA sits at 0.327, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.315 — a gap of 0.012, -0.4 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 446 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
