Running hot. Expect some cooling.

-2.1σ gap
wOBA (actual)0.339
xwOBA (deserved)0.274

Sanoja’s wOBA sits at 0.339, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.274 — a gap of 0.065, -2.1 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 253 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
