What stands out

  • 105.2 mph top-end exit velocity, but a .314 contact grade that sits below the sample median.
  • 760 batted balls from 2,655 pitches seen.
  • The zone rate against him was 47.9 percent: pitchers stayed off the plate.
Reading note

Descriptive only, from a single 2025 Statcast pull (pitches_faced_2025>=300 floor, 485 of 671 batters). The contact numbers -- exit velocity and estimated wOBA on contact -- cover the batted balls only, not every pitch seen, and estimated wOBA on contact is a batted-ball model: it says nothing about walks, strikeouts, or actual results. This pull carries no swing/miss or launch-angle column, so there is no whiff rate and no barrel profile here. Not park-, role-, or opponent-adjusted, and not a prediction. League-wide ranks were computed by sorting all 485 batters in this manifest on the named field; every printed value is read verbatim. Hard contact that does not convert usually means launch angle or spray, and this pull has no launch-angle column -- so the mechanism behind the gap is not established here.
