16% barrel

Spencer Jones has barrelled 16% of his batted balls this season across 186 plate appearances — about 2.13x the league rate of 7.5%. His hard-hit rate is 58.6%. He's facing Hayden Wesneski, who has allowed 2 home runs in 27.2 innings this season — 0.66 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.
