Published Saturday, September 19, 2026
Eduardo Valencia has barrelled 16.9% of his batted balls this season across 105 plate appearances — about 2.25x the league rate of 7.5%. His hard-hit rate is 46.8%. He's facing Sean Burke, who has allowed 10 home runs in 76.9 innings this season — 1.17 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.
