Data notes
Barrel rate is the share of batted balls that Statcast classifies as barrels. The rolling window covers 2026-09-26 through 2026-10-25 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.
