Regression watch
Running hot. Expect some cooling.
Walls’s wOBA sits at 0.311, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.245 — a gap of 0.066, -2.0 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 180 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
