0.1σ gap
wOBA-against (actual)0.295
xwOBA-against (deserved)0.292

Brazobán’s wOBA-against sits at 0.295, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.292 — a gap of 0.003, 0.1 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 60 IP. The results have been worse than the process deserves; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to climb back toward the underlying level.
