STAT OF THE WEEK - Swing Length
Swing length is a metric intended to identify if a batter has a short or long swing.
It is calculated in terms of feet the bat traveled during the swing, specifically laid out like this: The total (sum) distance (in feet) traveled by the barrel of the bat in X/Y/Z space, from the start of bat tracking data (generally around 150 ms), up until impact point. (via MLB)
The average swing length is 7.3 feet, and the seasonal average spread goes from just under six feet to more than eight-and-a-half feet – or more than 40 inches from most to least.
Shorter than average swings: .258 BA / .359 SLG / .268 wOBA / 19% whiff rate
Longer than average swings: .235 BA / .422 SLG / .282 wOBA / 30% whiff rate
