Alec Burleson should be a good hitter. He has a 74th percentile exit velocity (90.7 mph average exit velocity) and he has a 94th percentile whiff rate (15.5%). To put it another way - he hits the ball hard and he makes a ton of contact. That’s a great combination.
But, to make things even better, Burleson also hits a lot of balls in the air as his 39% ground ball rate is more than 3% below the league average and he also has an above average fly ball pull rate (25.5%).
So, to sum it all up, we’re looking at a hitter who hits everything, hits the ball hard, hits the ball in the air, and pulls his fly balls.
