The 5 biggest risers of the last 30 days
The rolling 30-day Statcast window (September 24 through October 23, 2026) shows who is barreling the ball better than his season-long level.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Patrick Bailey | Cleveland Guardians | C | 19.4% | 7.7% | 11.7 | 31 |

Data notes
Barrel rate is the share of batted balls that Statcast classifies as barrels. The rolling window covers 2026-09-24 through 2026-10-23 and requires at least 30 balls in play, so small samples are filtered out. The comparison sets a rolling rate against a season-to-date rate built on a larger sample, so the gap is a hot-streak signal, not a rest-of-season forecast. Hitters only: the rolling feed is built from batted-ball events, so pitchers are not ranked. See the rolling leaderboard for the last 30 days for the full ranking and the card rankings hub for rating-based views.
