HR Probability
14.2%
medium confidence

Varsho's 13.2% barrel rate grades 22% above baseline, anchoring a 14.2% home-run probability despite Gallen allowing just 9.7% barrels allowed. The caveat of neutral handedness splits (rather than L-on-R specifics) leaves some variance unresolved.

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.
