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

Understanding Average Launch Angle

Formula: Sum of recorded angles excluding labelled bunts ÷ Avg LA 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.
