The headline weighs outcome stats (xwOBA, barrels); each bar averages its full strip group below. 100 = best in MLB.
Rolling bands shrink current-season signal toward the preseason prior until the sample earns more weight.

Castro’s wOBA sits at 0.347, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.294 — a gap of 0.053, -1.9 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 341 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
