Estimated Center-Field Percentage 2020

The share of located balls estimated toward center field. Uses located balls only. N/A when fewer than 95% of all balls can be mapped. These are chart-based estimates. MLBDB estimates direction from recorded hit locations and the hand used to bat on that play.

Season

At least 100 balls with usable hit locations in this season. Calculated by MLBDB from completed games. Direction is estimated from recorded chart locations. At least 95% of balls need a usable location and batting side; rates divide by those located balls. Data through December 31, 2020. Data refreshed Sep 11, 2026, 12:21 PM UTC.

Understanding Estimated Center-Field Percentage

Formula: 100 × center-field balls ÷ located 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.
