Understanding Sweet-Spot Balls

Batted balls with a recorded launch angle from 8 to 32 degrees, including both ends. 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.
