HARD CONTACT
Published Thursday, September 17, 2026
Garrett Mitchell is hitting 53.1% of his batted balls at 95+ mph this season, against a league rate near 39%. His barrel rate is 11.9%, so this is hard contact that is not all finding the ideal launch angle. He's facing Wilber Dotel 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.
