What stands out

  • 107.7 mph at the 90th percentile, from a season a third the length of his peers'.
  • 235 batted balls is the smallest contact sample of any hitter profiled here.
  • Estimated wOBA on contact of .399 held up anyway.
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. With 235 batted balls the contact-quality numbers carry wide uncertainty; treat the rank as a description of this season's sample, not a durable rating.
