GDT 6/10/19: Running it back vs the Pirates

[Super]

If you look at xwOBA, Markakis has been this guy in 3 of the last 4 seasons:

2016 .343
2018 .345
2019 .343

Whatever reason he was making weak contact in 2015 and 2017.

1.2 WAR in 2016
2.6 last year
will be around 1-1.2 this year
yippee he's actually good?

Do you know what the x stands for in xwOBA?

i do.
what does that have to do with him putting up yet another 1-1.2 WAR season?

i'm pretty sure wRC/wRC+ incorporates wOBA so calling wRC+ an "old school metric" while wOBA is "new fangled" is interesting.
