Understanding Sweet-Spot Percentage

The percentage of angle-measured balls launched from 8 to 32 degrees. Calculated by MLBDB from recorded game measurements.

Formula: 100 × sweet-spot balls ÷ balls with recorded angle

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.
