    Why is there no wOBA+?

    I like wOBA, but why is there no wOBA+? shouldn't it be easy to calculate league averages and park factors and so calculate an adjusted wOBA?

    IMO this would be much better.

    wOBA uses league run values to come up with its number and some sites do park adjust the numbers and some sites do not.

    Frangraphs has wRC+, which is equivalent to wOBA+ except on a different scale (and one that is denominated in R+/PA rather than wOBA).
