ClosetBF- If we hop on over to Statcast, there are some stats you can see what MLB avg is and where Willy stacks up to them. One of the first in line is Barrels. This season his stat there is a whopping 12.7%. ML average is 6.6% Now last year Adames shows at 9.9%. And now for his career the average is 9.4% So his contact is harder hit more often. Then you can go on to EV and Launch Angle. Exit Velocity ML average is 88.3. Adames is having his highest for his career at 89.7. The higher the EV the more likely a ground ball finds the hole, but in Adames' case his Launch Angle is at a career high 17.3 and he has a career average of 12.3. ML average is 12 degrees. Yelich meanwhile has a career average of 4.8. His last great year in 2019 before injury he had reached 11.3. Had an EV of 93.3. This year Yelich has reverted to a low of 4.1 Launch Angle. I'd say for Adames keeping the Barrels high and his Launch Angle around a premium angle is why he has a higher BABIP. I will say, 17.3 is minor bit too high as approaching 20+ means balls are getting caught vs falling down. I think the 13-16 launch angle is prime(Tatis Jr at 13 this year) and seeing Adames near the premium LA for his career is why his BABIP is higher than expected to go along with the Barrels. The fact that he has a career arc in Exit Velocity increasing should actually give us an expectation that the BABIP will not only sustain but could improve so long as his LA doesn't continue higher than where he's at now.
