What is Hard-Hit %?

Hard-Hit% is the share of batted balls 95+ mph. MLB average is ~40%, 50%+ is strong, 60%+ is elite.

Unlike Barrel%, Hard-Hit% doesn't require an ideal launch angle — pure raw contact strength.

Even ground balls count if hit hard enough, signaling pressure on opposing defenses.

Hitters strong in both Hard-Hit% and Barrel% are the ideal (Ohtani, Judge, etc.).
