Regression watch
Running hot. Expect some cooling.
Stewart’s wOBA sits at 0.370, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.343 — a gap of 0.027, -1.1 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 725 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
