No diagnostic pattern fires — the profile is stable year over year.
Edge breakdown
Steep attack angle without elite bat speed — lift-first approach that depends on timing.
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.
