My producer, David Korn, wrote about why the Mets’ recent losing streak was not Carlos Mendoza’s fault.
STAT OF THE WEEK - Hard-hit Rate
Statcast defines a ‘hard-hit ball’ as one hit with an exit velocity of 95 mph or higher, and a player’s “hard-hit rate” is simply showing the percentage of batted balls that were hit at 95 mph or more.
Why 95 mph? Because that’s when exit velocity begins to “matter.” Another way of saying that is that balls hit at 40 mph or 70 mph will affect your average exit velocity differently, but in terms of outcomes, they’re just two varieties of weakly hit balls. For true production, you need to get to 95 mph. (via MLB)
