What stands out

  • 52.7 percent of pitches in the rulebook zone: he was challenged, not avoided.
  • Contact quality came back at .324 estimated wOBA on 730 batted balls.
  • Average exit velocity of 85 mph with a 103.1 mph 90th percentile.
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.
