ELITE BARREL RATE
Published Sunday, September 27, 2026
Mike Trout has barrelled 16% of his batted balls this season across 629 plate appearances — about 2.13x the league rate of 7.5%. His hard-hit rate is 46.3%. He's facing Logan Gilbert, who has allowed 15 home runs in 86.9 innings this season — 1.55 per nine. 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.
