Regression watch
Running hot. Expect some cooling.
Jeffers’s wOBA sits at 0.461, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.389 — a gap of 0.072, -2.1 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 176 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
