Brett Baty's tools (62) outpace production (58) by 4 points. Primary finding: high exit velocity but low barrel rate — bat-to-ball efficiency is leaving power on the table. Also flagged: Launch Angle Too High; Chase Rate Problem.

Protected takes / Chase risk| Signal | Cause | Fix | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power Efficiency Gap0.75 | High exit velocity but low barrel rate — bat-to-ball efficiency is leaving power on the table | Optimize swing path to increase squared-up rate at productive launch anglesEach 2pp barrel rate increase projects to ~0.015 xwOBA improvement | LOW |
| Launch Angle Too High0.55 | Excessive fly-ball angle — producing popups instead of line drives | Flatten swing plane to bring average LA into the 15-22° windowTurning popups into line drives has outsized wOBA impact | LOW |
| Chase Rate Problem0.71 | Expanding the zone too aggressively — generating weak contact and whiffs on pitcher's pitches | Pitch recognition training and two-strike approach adjustmentEach 3pp chase rate reduction projects to ~0.010 wOBA improvement | MEDIUM |
| Contact-Discipline Mismatch0.65 | Elite raw contact quality undermined by swing decisions — the bat is dangerous when it connects | Shorten swing against breaking balls while maintaining bat speed on fastballsMarginal discipline improvement with this power profile has huge upside | MEDIUM |
