Regression watch
Running hot. Expect some cooling.
Bauers’s wOBA sits at 0.409, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.370 — a gap of 0.039, -1.6 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 631 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
