Edge breakdown
High ideal-attack-angle rate — the barrel arrives on plane consistently even without extreme speed or steepness.
The swing
Percentiles vs all tracked hitters. Attack angle/direction and tilt are swing-weighted averages across batting sides. Swing type from editable rules — first match wins.
