HR Probability
14.1%
low confidence

Arenado's 3.7% HR rate per PA (1.16x) anchors a modest forecast, though his 4.0% barrel rate sits below season standard and Scherzer's sparse 10.1-inning sample (1.31 HR/9) limits pitcher reliability.

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.
