  1. Feb 12, 2022 · Exit velocity is one of the more simplistic statcast numbers. Essentially, exit velocity is how fast, in miles per hour, a batted ball is hit. Average exit velocity is calculated by dividing the sum of all exit velocities by all batted ball events.

  3. Nov 14, 2023 · Because average exit velocity includes all batted ball events, weakly hit grounders can easily skew it. If you are looking to forecast a hitter’s power, exit velocity on FB/LD is more descriptive and predictive of a player’s power output.

  4. xwOBA is formulated using exit velocity, launch angle and, on certain types of batted balls, Sprint Speed. xERA is a simple 1:1 translation of xwOBA, converted to the ERA scale. A measurement of a player's top running speed, expressed in "feet per second in a player's fastest one-second window."

  5. Jan 6, 2020 · Although I can’t find a more current graphic, FB/LD exit velocity correlates well with power, as it filters out ground balls and pop-ups (which reduces noisiness) and looks to see if hitters are making hard contact with the ball when they’re lifting it in the air.

  6. Exit Velocity (EV) Definition. Exit Velocity measures the speed of the baseball as it comes off the bat, immediately after a batter makes contact. This is tracked for all Batted Ball Events -- outs, hits and errors. Attaining a high Exit Velocity is one of a hitter's primary goals.

  8. Feb 8, 2022 · Fly Ball Exit Velocity (FB EV) measures the average exit velocity on fly balls only. Any ground ball, line drive, or popup is not included in this calculation. Batters with high FB EV are likely to hit more home runs per fly ball.
