wOBA − MLBDB xwOBA: Recorded weighted batting average minus the estimate, using the same completed games and batting weights. MLBDB estimates describe recorded contact, not future performance.

Understanding Weighted Average Minus Expected

Recorded weighted batting average minus the estimate, using the same completed games and batting weights. MLBDB estimates describe recorded contact, not future performance.

Read rates alongside playing time. A small sample can produce an extreme result, and a missing value is different from zero.

Season rankings use regular-season records. A player has one combined row across teams; the team label identifies the associated team, not a separate team stint.
