Regression watch
Running hot. Expect some cooling.
Benge’s wOBA sits at 0.354, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.348 — a gap of 0.006, -0.2 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 404 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
