MLBcontact quality barrel edge

17.4% barrel

Kyle Schwarber has barrelled 17.4% of his batted balls this season across 564 plate appearances — about 2.32x the league rate of 7.5%. His hard-hit rate is 50.9%. He's facing Bryan Woo, who has allowed 9 home runs in 84.4 innings this season — 0.96 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.
