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. The qualified leaders on this page have at least 100 at-bats so one-game samples can't distort the top of the board.
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.
