Regression watch
Running hot. Expect some cooling.
Jung’s wOBA sits at 0.379, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.348 — a gap of 0.031, -1.2 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 457 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
