Still searching for results at the plate
Parker Meadows walks at a league-average clip — better than 46% of qualified hitters. The overall production lags, though — only 5% of qualified hitters create fewer estimated bases per plate appearance. Early-season read — only 39 plate appearances so far.
Each spoke is a skill estimate adjusted for sample size — not raw season stats — so farther out = better.
Percentiles vs. 473 qualified hitters — 50+ plate appearances. He hasn't reached that bar himself, so he is measured against them rather than counted among them.

Plays like…
Same archetype, nearest by rate — the hitters whose profile looks most like this one.
Dot = shrunk true-talent estimate; bar = 50% probable range. Tap or hover any mark for its number, or tab to a row for all of them.
Faint diamond = his raw, unshrunk rate against that hand — small samples make it noisy, which is why the model pulls the dot toward a more trustworthy estimate.
Gray tick (marked “lg”) = league median vs that hand; the faint gray band behind it spans the middle half of the league (25th–75th percentile).
Shrunk splits beat raw splits decisively at low PA counts and converge with them as playing time builds — individual platoon gaps need roughly 1,000+ PA vs a hand before the raw number alone can be trusted.

vs LHP: shrunk estimate 0.259 EB/PA, 50% probable range 0.228 to 0.289, based on 1 plate appearances. Raw (unshrunk) rate: 0.140 EB/PA. League median vs LHP: 0.424 EB/PA.

Raw vs LHP rate (0.140) is off this scale — small samples like this are exactly why the shrunk estimate (the dot) is the trustworthy number, not the raw one.

Best batted balls
Where every ball Parker Meadows put in play landed this season.
Dots are colored by estimated bases (EB) — pale slate (easy out) to dark teal (home-run territory).
Filled dots are hits; hollow rings are outs — a dark ring in the outfield is a crushed ball that got caught.
Tap or hover a dot or a row to link the two; use the ▶ links below to watch on Baseball Savant.
Bases added per 100 pitches of each type — the same scale as the pitcher pages’ “saved/cost per 100”, from the hitter’s side.
Every pitch counts: taking a ball adds value, whiffing loses it, and the pitch that ends the plate appearance scores its outcome against the count’s expectation.
Each dot is his mark (teal above the league median, red below); the shaded band is the league’s middle half, the dashed line its median, and the teal tick the league leader.
Types with fewer than 50 pitches seen pool into “Other”.
