Regression watch
Running hot. Expect some cooling.
Antonacci’s wOBA sits at 0.364, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.350 — a gap of 0.014, -0.6 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 595 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
