Regression watch
Running hot. Expect some cooling.
Dingler’s wOBA sits at 0.370, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.350 — a gap of 0.020, -0.8 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 551 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
