17.9% barrel

Oneil Cruz has barrelled 17.9% of his batted balls this season across 328 plate appearances — about 2.39x the league rate of 7.5%. His hard-hit rate is 57.1%. He's facing Logan Webb, who has allowed 7 home runs in 94.4 innings this season — 0.67 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.
