negative regression
Ortiz’s wOBA sits at 0.343, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.295 — a gap of 0.048, -1.7 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 369 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
