Avg EV: 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. Calculated by MLBDB from recorded game measurements.

Understanding Average Exit Velocity

Formula: Sum of recorded speeds excluding labelled bunts ÷ Avg EV balls

Read rates alongside playing time. A small sample can produce an extreme result, and a missing value is different from zero.

Season rankings use regular-season records. A player has one combined row across teams; the team label identifies the associated team, not a separate team stint.
