Unlucky so far. Better days ahead.

0.8σ gap
wOBA-against (actual)0.301
xwOBA-against (deserved)0.280

Sánchez’s wOBA-against sits at 0.301, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.280 — a gap of 0.020, 0.8 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 178 IP. The results have been worse than the process deserves; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to climb back toward the underlying level.
