Over the last few weeks, we’ve talked about barrels and barrel rates, exit velocity, and expected stats. This week, we’re diving deeper.

This past weekend gave us a little bit of everything, from Stephen Strasburg’s return Friday to Ryan Zimmerman’s record-setting Saturday to Sunday’s first-inning fireworks.
