0.7σ gap
wOBA-against (actual)0.328
xwOBA-against (deserved)0.305

Sandlin’s wOBA-against sits at 0.328, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.305 — a gap of 0.023, 0.7 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 42 IP. The results have been worse than the process deserves; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to climb back toward the underlying level.
