Slugger Ross

Tyson Ross hits the ball hard:

With an average exit velocity of 93.5 mph on balls batted in play, Ross ranks No. 17 amongst all major-league batters in the category in 2015.

Some notable sluggers Ross eclipses on the list: 18. Yoenis Cespedes (93.4), 19. Donaldson, (93.4), 21. Paul Goldschmidt (93.3), 26. Chris Davis (93.1), 40. Alex Rodriguez (92.5), and 44. Bryce Harper (92.3).

Ross’ average exit velocity was pulled from 29 balls batted in play, while Cespedes, Donaldson, and Goldschmidt, for example, were judged on an average of 412 balls batted in play.

Tyson had a very good year at the plate, with a .250/.283/.357 slash line. He also hit a high percentage of his balls in play for line drives. Note, however, that he also hits a very high percentage of his balls in play as grounders. That leads me to believe he owns a very level swing, so he’ll never hit too many home runs.
