16.8% barrel
Griffin Conine has barrelled 16.8% of his batted balls this season across 198 plate appearances — about 2.24x the league rate of 7.5%. His hard-hit rate is 54.9%. 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.
