ELITE BARREL RATE
Published Wednesday, October 7, 2026
Spencer Jones has barrelled 15.9% of his batted balls this season across 289 plate appearances — about 2.12x the league rate of 7.5%. His hard-hit rate is 55.1%. He's facing Nick Martinez, who has allowed 13 home runs in 83 innings this season — 1.41 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.
