1.8σ gap
wOBA-against (actual)0.336
xwOBA-against (deserved)0.284

Hudson’s wOBA-against sits at 0.336, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.284 — a gap of 0.052, 1.8 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 68 IP. The results have been worse than the process deserves; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to climb back toward the underlying level.
