BBE
Batted Balls. Completed turns to bat that ended with a batted ball, including home runs. Some balls have no speed or angle measurement.
EV+LA balls
Balls with Recorded Speed and Angle. Balls that have both a usable speed and angle measurement. These are the balls used to calculate barrel percentage.
MLBDB barrels
MLBDB Barrels. Balls hit very hard at an angle suited to deep hits. MLBDB checks the recorded speed and angle against its documented barrel zone. Balls missing either measurement are left out. Rounded measurements can affect close calls. This is MLBDB's calculated classification.
MLBDB Barrel%
MLBDB Barrel Percentage. The percentage of balls with both speed and angle recorded that MLBDB counts as barrels. Missing measurements are left out. Formula: 100 × barrels ÷ balls with recorded speed and angle.
EV balls
Balls with Recorded Speed. All batted balls with a usable speed measurement, including bunts. This is the sample used for hard-hit percentage.
Avg EV balls
Average Exit Velocity Sample. Balls with recorded speed, excluding labelled bunts. Used for average and maximum exit velocity.
Avg EV
Average Exit Velocity. Average ball speed just after contact, in miles per hour. Balls with no speed measurement are left out. Balls labelled as bunts are excluded. Unknown bunt labels are retained. Formula: Sum of recorded speeds excluding labelled bunts ÷ Avg EV balls.
Max EV
Maximum Exit Velocity. The fastest recorded batted ball, in miles per hour. Balls labelled as bunts are excluded. Unknown bunt labels are retained.
Hard-hit%
Hard-Hit Percentage. The percentage of speed-measured balls hit at least 95 miles per hour. Formula: 100 × hard-hit balls ÷ balls with recorded speed.
LA balls
Balls with Recorded Angle. All batted balls with a usable angle measurement, including bunts. This is the sample used for sweet-spot percentage.
Avg LA balls
Average Launch Angle Sample. Balls with recorded angle, excluding labelled bunts. Used for average launch angle.
Avg LA
Average Launch Angle. Average angle at which the ball leaves the bat, in degrees. A negative angle points toward the ground. Higher is not always better. Balls labelled as bunts are excluded. Unknown bunt labels are retained. Formula: Sum of recorded angles excluding labelled bunts ÷ Avg LA balls.
Sweet-spot%
Sweet-Spot Percentage. The percentage of angle-measured balls launched from 8 to 32 degrees. Formula: 100 × sweet-spot balls ÷ balls with recorded angle.

Direction is estimated from recorded hit locations and the hand used to bat on each play. Rates divide by Located balls and show N/A below 95% location coverage. Unmapped balls are left out. Higher is not always better.

MLBDB estimates these from recorded ball speed and angle, for seasons from 2018. A season or period shows N/A if any batted ball it needs is missing a measurement or falls outside what the model covers. That is common over a full season, and in 2018 and 2019 no regular player has complete measurements. Differences use actual results from the same completed games. These describe recorded contact, not future performance.

Pitch Type Coverage. The percentage of delivered pitches with a recognized type label. Pitch labels can be revised later. Missing labels are never guessed. Formula: 100 × pitches with a recognized type ÷ all delivered pitches.

Movement is in inches. Sideways: positive is to the pitcher's right, negative is left, when looking toward home plate. Vertical: positive is upward, negative is downward from the initial flight direction. No-grav removes gravity's effect; it does not mean the ball rose. Counts show how many pitches were measured.

FF pitches
Four-seam fastball pitches. Number of delivered pitches with this recorded type. Zero means no pitch was recorded with this label.
FF %
Four-seam fastball usage. The percentage of all delivered pitches recorded as this type. Pitches with unknown types stay in the total. These percentages describe the recorded labels, so check type coverage. Formula: 100 × pitches of this recorded type ÷ all delivered pitches.
FF mph
Four-seam fastball average speed. Average recorded speed in miles per hour. Only pitches with a usable speed measurement are included. Speed count shows how many were measured. Formula: Sum of recorded speeds ÷ pitches with speed measurements.
FF max mph
Four-seam fastball fastest recorded pitch. Highest recorded speed in miles per hour. This uses available measurements and may miss a faster pitch that was not measured.
FF rpm
Four-seam fastball average spin. How fast the ball spins, measured in turns per minute. Only measured pitches are included. More spin is not always better. Formula: Sum of recorded spin rates ÷ pitches with spin measurements.
FF ext ft
Four-seam fastball average extension. How far toward home plate the pitcher releases the ball, measured in feet from the pitching rubber. Only pitches with this measurement are included. Formula: Sum of recorded extensions ÷ pitches with extension measurements.
FF side in
Four-seam fastball average sideways movement. Average sideways bend from the pitch's initial flight direction, in inches. Positive is to the pitcher's right when looking toward home plate; negative is left. This direction stays the same for left- and right-handed pitchers. Zero is a real measurement. More movement is not automatically better. Formula: Sum of recorded sideways movement ÷ pitches with sideways movement measured.
FF vert in
Four-seam fastball average vertical movement with gravity. Average upward or downward bend from the pitch's initial flight direction, in inches. Includes gravity. Positive is upward; negative is downward. This is not the change in height from the pitcher's hand to the plate. Only measured pitches are included. Formula: Sum of recorded vertical movement including gravity ÷ pitches with this measurement.
FF no-grav in
Four-seam fastball average vertical movement without gravity. Average vertical bend in inches after removing gravity's downward effect. Positive is upward; negative is downward. A positive number does not mean the ball actually rose on its way to the plate. Only measured pitches are included. Formula: Sum of recorded vertical movement with gravity removed ÷ pitches with this measurement.
FF whiff%
Four-seam fastball misses per swing. The percentage of swings that miss. Caught foul tips count as misses; ordinary fouls count as contact. N/A means no swings or an unclear pitch result. Formula: 100 × missed swings ÷ swings at this pitch type.
FF swings
Four-seam fastball swings. Recorded swings at this type of pitch, including bunts.
FF speed count
Four-seam fastball pitches with speed. Number of pitches with a usable speed measurement. This is the sample behind average speed.
FF spin count
Four-seam fastball pitches with spin. Number of pitches with a usable spin measurement. This is the sample behind average spin.
FF ext count
Four-seam fastball pitches with extension. Number of pitches with a usable release extension measurement. This is the sample behind average extension.
FF side count
Four-seam fastball pitches with sideways movement. Number of pitches with sideways movement recorded. This is the sample behind average sideways movement. Missing measurements are left out; recorded zeroes are included.
FF vert count
Four-seam fastball pitches with vertical movement. Number of pitches with vertical movement including gravity recorded. This is the sample behind that average. Missing measurements are left out; recorded zeroes are included.
FF no-grav count
Four-seam fastball pitches with vertical movement without gravity. Number of pitches with vertical movement recorded after gravity's effect is removed. This is the sample behind that average. Missing measurements are left out; recorded zeroes are included.
Type coverage
Pitch Type Coverage. The percentage of delivered pitches with a recognized type label. Pitch labels can be revised later. Missing labels are never guessed. Formula: 100 × pitches with a recognized type ÷ all delivered pitches.
