What stands out

  • .289 estimated wOBA on contact ranks in the bottom half of the sample.
  • The inputs match: 83.1 mph average and 101.7 mph at the 90th percentile.
  • He saw 1,541 pitches, a shorter season than most in this group.
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. An honest read: this is a below-median contact-quality season by this model's terms. It is one season of one metric, and it is not a projection.
