Regression watch
Running hot. Expect some cooling.
Adames’s wOBA sits at 0.325, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.296 — a gap of 0.029, -1.1 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 517 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
