Why the 30-day window matters

Season-to-date leaderboards reward fast starters and punish slow ones for months. A rolling 30-day window surfaces who's hot right now — which is what actually matters for predicting tomorrow's production. Barrel Rate is window-sensitive because power hitters can run cold for 50+ at-bats, then explode for two weeks straight; the season-aggregate rate smooths over those streaks, the 30-day view catches them while they're live.

Data source: per-event MLB Statcast batted-ball data via Baseball Savant, refreshed nightly into the Legends Deck database. Players need at least 30 batted balls in the window to qualify so micro-sample outliers don't distort the top of the ranking. For the full-season cumulative ranking see /leaderboards/barrel-rate.
