Regression watch
Running hot. Expect some cooling.
Loperfido’s wOBA sits at 0.333, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.297 — a gap of 0.036, -1.0 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 133 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
