Regression watch
Running hot. Expect some cooling.
Lopez’s wOBA sits at 0.361, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.257 — a gap of 0.104, -2.9 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 139 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
