MLBcontact quality hard hit edge

51.9% hard-hit

Garrett Mitchell is hitting 51.9% of his batted balls at 95+ mph this season, against a league rate near 39%. His barrel rate is 12.4%, so this is hard contact that is not all finding the ideal launch angle. He's facing Sean Manaea tonight. Hard-hit rate counts a 105 mph ground ball the same as a 105 mph fly ball — it is the broader contact signal, not a home run signal on its own.
