Running hot. Expect some cooling.

-2.4σ gap
wOBA (actual)0.403
xwOBA (deserved)0.312

Schuemann’s wOBA sits at 0.403, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.312 — a gap of 0.092, -2.4 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 108 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
