Veteran bat leaning on contact and approach
The headline weighs outcome stats (xwOBA, barrels); each bar averages its full strip group below. 100 = best in MLB.
Rolling bands shrink current-season signal toward the preseason prior until the sample earns more weight.

Live snapshot series; true 50/100 PA windows require PA-level logs
Nolan Arenado's tools (78) outpace production (74) by 5 points. Primary finding: elite raw contact quality undermined by swing decisions — the bat is dangerous when it connects.
