Hitting Analytics
Spray Chart
The spray chart shows where batted balls were hit across the field. Each dot represents a batted ball colored by result:
- Green — hits
- Red — outs
- Yellow — errors and fielder's choices
Use the spray chart to identify:
- Pull tendencies vs opposite field hitting
- Gap power vs straight-away hitting
- Infield hit tendencies
Batting Average Trend
The trend chart shows batting average over time. Use the date range filter to evaluate recent performance vs season-long trends.
Contact Type Distribution
The donut chart shows the breakdown of ground balls, line drives, and fly balls. Line drive percentage is the strongest predictor of hitting success — higher line drive rates generally correlate with better outcomes.
Hard Hit Rate
Hard hit rate tracks the percentage of at-bats where the ball was hit with authority. This is a quality-of-contact metric independent of results.
