Published Saturday, September 26, 2026
Munetaka Murakami has barrelled 20.2% of his batted balls this season across 540 plate appearances — about 2.69x the league rate of 7.5%. His hard-hit rate is 56.5%. He's facing Jose Quintana, who has allowed 8 home runs in 42.9 innings this season — 1.68 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.
