-1.8σ gap
wOBA (actual)0.391
xwOBA (deserved)0.339

Horwitz’s wOBA sits at 0.391, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.339 — a gap of 0.052, -1.8 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 314 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
