ITS ALL ABOUT THE NUMBERS

It’s easy to get lost in a baseball stat sheet, so we picked our 5 favorite advanced stats that all great hitters excel in!

ISO: Used to measure a hitter’s raw power. An ISO above .200 is an indication of a powerful hitter

Barrel %: The ability for a hitter to put the barrel on the baseball. As hitters we want this to be over 12%

BB/K: AKA walks to strikeout ratio, which is a measure of a hitter’s plate discipline and strike zone awareness

BABIP: Batting average in balls in play, which is your batting average excluding balls in play (home runs, strikeouts, foul outs, etc). We want this to be above .300

GO/AO: The ratio of ground outs to air outs, we want this ratio to be below 1 (meaning more air outs than ground outs)

These stats are extremely important in painting the picture of a complete hitter. Comment with any questions below ⬇️
