HR Probability
15.1%
low confidence

Sánchez's elevated home-run rate of 5.0% per PA grades the matchup up 1.5x, but the park factor of 0.92 at loanDepot and Alcantara's modest 1.14 HR/9 pull it back; the 15.1% probability sits below his raw power profile, though his 47-PA sample warrants caution.

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.
