Tom Tango uses a hockey analogy to re-examine production from barrelled balls. Although he doesn’t go in this direction in the post and comments, I think he is really evaluating hitters like Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire (barrelled balls tend to go for home runs) versus Mike Trout and Joey Votto (barrelled balls produce a diverse set of hits). Bonds produced a .285 career BABIP, McGwire .255, Trout .355, Votto .354. Lots of home runs can cover other weaknesses.
