HR Probability
16.2%
medium confidence

Harper's 4.0% HR rate per PA grades 26% above baseline, while his 13.5% barrel rate sustains that elevated contact quality across season and recent splits. Citizens Bank Park's 113 HR factor and Sale's 1.23 HR/9 provide modest tailwinds, though the lack of reliable handedness data limits precision on this matchup's true shape.

How to Read These Numbers

Percentile bars show where each stat ranks within a reasonable league context, not strict percentiles. Values closer to the right edge are elite; left edge is poor. Read the full methodology for how we build HR probabilities and why most BvP splits aren't used.
