What is average exit velocity?

Average exit velocity is the speed of the baseball as it leaves the bat on batted-ball events, measured by Statcast radar at MLB ballparks. It captures raw power output across all contact — ground balls, line drives, and fly balls combined. Sustained averages above 90 mph correlate strongly with barrel rate, expected slugging, and home-run totals. Qualified hitters meet Baseball Savant's default qualified minimum for Statcast batted-ball leaderboards (2.1 plate appearances per team game, roughly 340 over a 162-game season).

Exit velocity is the most predictive Statcast metric for future power output. Hitters who top this leaderboard tend to overperform batting average in the long run because louder contact turns into extra-base hits and home runs. Use this alongside barrel rate to separate raw power from consistent power contact.
