Grade

His grade shows how good he has been, and at what.

Too few plate appearances to grade

Daniel Johnson has 17 plate appearances this season. A rate built on that few can swing a long way on a single result, so his rates get no grade and no league percentile yet.

A grade needs 25 plate appearances. League medians and percentiles come from hitters with at least 50 plate appearances. The sections below show what actually happened, with no grade attached.

How to read this chart
Dot color is estimated bases (EB), what the contact was worth no matter what the defense did with it. Darker means more bases, so a dark hollow ring in the outfield is a crushed ball that got caught. Tap or hover a dot or a row to link the two, and use the ▶ links to watch a play on Baseball Savant.
