wOBA (actual)0.312
xwOBA (deserved)0.289

Lowe’s wOBA sits at 0.312, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.289 — a gap of 0.023, -0.8 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 308 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
