Regression watch
Running hot. Expect some cooling.
Mccarthy’s wOBA sits at 0.376, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.317 — a gap of 0.059, -2.3 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 529 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
