Running hot. Expect some cooling.

-1.3σ gap
wOBA (actual)0.372
xwOBA (deserved)0.324

Meckler’s wOBA sits at 0.372, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.324 — a gap of 0.048, -1.3 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 145 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
