Running hot. Expect some cooling.

-0.6σ gap
wOBA-against (actual)0.320
xwOBA-against (deserved)0.337

Mlodzinski’s wOBA-against sits at 0.320, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.337 — a gap of 0.017, -0.6 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 80 IP. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
