ELITE BARREL RATE
Published Tuesday, September 15, 2026
Aaron Judge has barrelled 20.9% of his batted balls this season across 279 plate appearances — about 2.79x the league rate of 7.5%. His hard-hit rate is 57.5%. He's facing Bailey Ober, who has allowed 14 home runs in 78.5 innings this season — 1.61 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.
