4.0σ gap
wOBA-against (actual)0.462
xwOBA-against (deserved)0.323

Banks’s wOBA-against sits at 0.462, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.323 — a gap of 0.139, 4.0 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 32 IP. The results have been worse than the process deserves; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to climb back toward the underlying level.
