17% barrel
Hunter Goodman has barrelled 17% of his batted balls this season across 470 plate appearances — about 2.27x the league rate of 7.5%. His hard-hit rate is 45.8%. He's facing Jake Irvin, who has allowed 12 home runs in 71.4 innings this season — 1.51 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.
