Joe Ryan fits the script. Underneath the matchup is a 18.4% barrel rate, which is elite, top-of-league territory. Joe Ryan keeps the ball off the ground (37% GB rate), which is the right profile for a HR play. ## Pick 2: Shohei Ohtani — LAD vs Jeffrey Springs (LHP) *Sutter Health Park · 17 HR · 16.7% barrel · 103.7 mph EV · 0.568 xSLG · opp HR/9 3.01* Lock in on the matchup math: 44% of Jeffrey Springs's pitches are his 4-seam fastball, and hitters are punishing it (.527 SLG). Shohei Ohtani has the kind of barrel profile that turns that pitch into a souvenir. A 16.7% barrel rate is the kind of barrel rate only a handful of players in the league carry — that profile carries the lean. Jeffrey Springs's 91.3 mph average fastball is the kind of velocity power bats wait for. > **Want the full board?** See all of today's plays on [Top Plays](/top-plays), or dive deeper on the [Hitter vs Pitch Mix dashboard](/mlb/hitting-stats). ## Pick 3: Hunter Goodman — COL vs Eury Pérez (RHP) *Coors Field · 25 HR · 17.4% barrel · 103.2 mph EV · 0.476 xSLG · opp HR/9 1.61* Eury Pérez throws his slider 15% of the time, and the league is teeing off for a 0.571 slugging mark against it. That is the pitch Hunter Goodman should be sitting on. The barrel rate (17.4%) is in the elite, top-of-league tier — that is a real edge, not a small-sample mirage. Recent form lines up: 4 bombs in his last 7 contests. Coors elevation does the rest — 5,200 feet of thin air adds carry. ## Honorable Mentions - **Byron Buxton** (MIN) vs Mike Burrows — 18.5% barrel rate. - **Kyle Schwarber** (PHI) vs Bubba Chandler — 2 HR in his last 7 games. - **Juan Soto** (NYM) vs Kevin Gausman — 14.7% barrel rate. - **Matt Olson** (ATL) vs Matthew Liberatore — 13.4% barrel rate. - **Owen Caissie** (MIA) vs Tanner Gordon — 15.3% barrel rate. ## Related Guides - [Finding Undervalued HR Hitters](/blog/finding-undervalued-home-run-hitters) - [Hitter vs Pitcher Matchup Guide](/blog/hitter-vs-pitcher-matchup-guide) - [MLB Stats Explained](/blog/mlb-stats-explained) ## Before You Lock Check the [Hitter vs Pitch Mix dashboard](/mlb/hitting-stats) for full Statcast breakdowns.
