ELITE BARREL RATE
Published Tuesday, September 22, 2026
Kyle Schwarber has barrelled 16.1% of his batted balls this season across 674 plate appearances — about 2.15x the league rate of 7.5%. His hard-hit rate is 49.3%. He's facing Dustin May, who has allowed 7 home runs in 56.9 innings this season — 1.11 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.
