Understanding Hard-Hit Balls

Batted balls with a recorded speed of at least 95 miles per hour. Calculated by MLBDB from recorded game measurements.

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.
