Understanding Hard-Hit Percentage

The percentage of speed-measured balls hit at least 95 miles per hour. Calculated by MLBDB from recorded game measurements.

Formula: 100 × hard-hit balls ÷ balls with recorded speed

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.
