Some interesting observations regarding some of our player's expected performance.
1) Teoscar Hernandez has a .449 xwOBA, that's 12th highest among all hitters, his xSLG of .727 is 4th in the MLB.
2) Lourdes Gurriel Jr. has a .358 xwOBA, the dude has been drilling the ball but gotten quite unlucky, as most of us have probably noticed.
3) Steve Pearce (SSS) is 4th in xwOBA at .474 (!!!), he's the third most unlucky in difference between expected and actual wOBA, just behind...
4) Randal Grichuk, whose .326 xwOBA is still not great, but a far cry better than his actual line. The guy has been struggling but whenever he did make some contact he couldn't buy a break. His .119 BABIP is last in the majors for players with at least as many PAs as him (yes I'm cherry picking), Russell Martin is second last in that aspect - he has a .325 xwOBA. Aledmys Diaz is 15th using the same threshold, 9th worst BABIP among qualified, his xwOBA of .332 is also a far cry better than his actual line.
5) Kevin Pillar's expected and actual wOBA are 0.002 apart, he's been legitimately crushing the baseball this season.
6) 11 out of 14 hitters with at least 25 PAs are underperforming their wOBAs. This actually includes Luke Maile, believe it or not. We're getting unlucky as f***.
