Regression watch
Running hot. Expect some cooling.
Deluca’s wOBA sits at 0.343, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.262 — a gap of 0.081, -2.9 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 407 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
