About the MLB Hitters board
A sortable board of every hitter on the slate, built around recent batted-ball quality rather than surface results. It pairs each hitter’s current form with the pitcher he is actually facing, so you can see both halves of the matchup in one row.
How to read it
The form tag is a quick read on the last one to two weeks of plate appearances — SURGE is the hottest, FREEZE the coldest, with PWR and HH+ flagging power and hard contact specifically. Stat columns are sortable and default to all plate appearances; the filters narrow them to same-handed pitchers, to the pitch types tonight’s starter actually throws, or to a hitter’s own career history against that starter. Clicking a row opens the detail drawer with the plate-appearance log, per-pitch splits, spray chart and zone view.
Where the numbers come from
Rate stats come from tracked batted-ball data — exit velocity, launch angle and the expected outcomes derived from them — aggregated over rolling plate-appearance windows you pick from the window control. Expected stats describe contact quality independent of whether a ball found a fielder, which is why they stabilize faster than batting average over a short sample.
Who it's for
For hitter research and daily lineups, and for anyone who wants the reason behind a hot streak rather than the streak itself. The sample size behind every window is on the page, so you can tell a real signal from twenty at-bats of noise.
What the MLB stats mean
PA / ABPlate appearances and at-bats. Every trip to the plate is a plate appearance; walks, hit-by-pitches and sacrifices do not count as at-bats.
AVGBatting average — hits per at-bat.
SLG
Total bases per at-bat, so a double counts double a single.
ISOExtra-base power — extra bases per at-bat, with singles taken out.
wOBAOne number for overall hitting value. Unlike batting average, it counts a home run more than a double and a double more than a walk.
xBA / xwOBAThe "expected" versions of those stats, based on how hard and at what angle the ball was hit rather than whether it happened to drop in for a hit. Good for spotting a hitter who is hitting the ball well without the results yet.
EVExit velocity — how fast the ball leaves the bat, in mph.
HH%Hard-hit rate — share of batted balls struck at 95 mph or harder.
BRRL% / BarrelShare of batted balls hit hard AND at the angle that most often goes for extra bases. The most productive kind of contact.
K% / BB%How often a hitter strikes out or walks, as a share of the batters faced.
Whiff%How often hitters swing and miss, out of all their swings.
SwStr%How often any pitch thrown gets a swing and a miss.
GB% / LD% / FB%Share of batted balls that stay on the ground, are line drives, or go in the air.
Pull%Share of batted balls hit to the batter’s power side.
Grades (A+ to F)A letter grade for the matchup, A+ being the strongest. Separate grades cover home runs, extra-base hits and hits.
Form tagA read on the last one to two weeks. SURGE is hottest and FREEZE is coldest; PWR and HH+ flag power and hard contact specifically.
