Running hot. Expect some cooling.

-0.9σ gap
wOBA (actual)0.252
xwOBA (deserved)0.218

Morel’s wOBA sits at 0.252, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.218 — a gap of 0.034, -0.9 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 102 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
