ELITE BARREL RATE
Published Thursday, September 17, 2026
Kyle Schwarber has barrelled 16.4% of his batted balls this season across 655 plate appearances — about 2.19x the league rate of 7.5%. His hard-hit rate is 49.4%. He's facing Nolan McLean, who has allowed 9 home runs in 90.1 innings this season — 0.9 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.
