In the last series of the regular season, Jarred Kelenic hit a line drive. What was special about this line drive? Nothing. And that’s what we’re here to discuss.

Judged by his results, Kelenic had an awful 2022, with a 55 wRC+ somehow worse than the 74 he put up in his debut season in 2021. And yet underneath that, he’s made surprisingly good contact over that two-year stretch. To take a quick and dirty stat, his barrel rate is 11.
