16.5% barrel

Spencer Jones has barrelled 16.5% of his batted balls this season across 214 plate appearances — about 2.2x the league rate of 7.5%. His hard-hit rate is 57%. He's facing Robbie Ray, who has allowed 7 home runs in 83.3 innings this season — 0.76 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.
