Batted-ball and pitch velocity layer

Statcast: Velocity & Launch

Every board on this page ranks a measured 2026 extreme — pitch speed, exit velocity, throw velocity — over the players the feed tracked. This is the science lab behind the Record Radar, where raw speed becomes historical context.

Velocity & release trends, gated

Each start compared against the pitcher's own trailing baseline. A signal means the distribution CHANGED — sustained, beyond one standard deviation, with the sample shown. It is a trend report, not a diagnosis.
