Published Friday, September 25, 2026
Mike Trout has barrelled 16% of his batted balls this season across 624 plate appearances — about 2.13x the league rate of 7.5%. His hard-hit rate is 46.1%. A barrel is contact at the exit velocity and launch angle that produces home runs, so this measures the contact itself rather than the results it has produced so far.
