Statcast rankings use data from Baseball Savant. xBA (Expected Batting Average) is derived from exit velocity and launch angle — it strips out defensive luck to measure true hitting. Barrel% measures the share of 'perfect contact' batted balls, indicating power potential. Whiff% is the swing-and-miss rate, revealing batter weaknesses and pitcher matchup edges. All metrics update 1–2 days after each game.
