-0.5σ gap
wOBA (actual)0.353
xwOBA (deserved)0.338

Ewing’s wOBA sits at 0.353, but the quality of contact underneath says it should be 0.338 — a gap of 0.015, -0.5 standard deviations from the MLB norm over 227 PA. The results have outrun the underlying process; as the sample grows, expect the numbers to drift back toward the deserved level.
