Statcast Metrics Context


How much do our selected underlying bat tracking and quality of contact matter to tangible statistics and performance at the plate? This page allows you to compare those outcomes.
  • Barrel: For a batted ball, the ideal combination of exit velocity & launch angle. Read more here.
  • Blast: A swing that is an ideal combination of squared-up and with strong bat speed. Read more here.
  • Fast Swing: A swing that has 75 mph or greater bat speed. Read more here.
  • Hard-Hit: A batted ball hit with 95 mph or greater exit velocity. Read more here.
  • Ideal Attack Angle: A batted ball hit with an attack angle between 5° and 20°. Read more here.
  • Launch Angle Sweet-Spot: A batted ball hit with launch angle between 8° and 32°. Read more here.
  • Squared-Up: A swing where at least 80% of the potential exit velocity (based on swing speed and pitch speed) is converted into actual exit velocity. Read more here.

Note: Barrels, Hard-Hit Rate and Launch Angle Sweet-Spot % metrics have data from 2016-present. Fast Swing, Ideal Attack Angle and Squared-Up metrics have data from 2023-present.
