-0.7σ gap
wOBA-against (actual)0.246
xwOBA-against (deserved)0.268

Bennett’s wOBA-against sits at 0.246, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.268 — a gap of 0.022, -0.7 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 48 IP. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
