What stands out

  • 41.7 percent four-seamers is an unusually fastball-heavy diet at this level of production.
  • He saw 2,975 pitches and put 891 in play.
  • Contact quality was strong: 85.6 mph average exit velocity, .375 estimated wOBA on contact.
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.
