It's finally time to roll out the barrels and there will be Brewers involved! Now that qualified hitters have well over 200 plate appearances under their belts, we can dive into the Statcast numbers to see who is making the biggest splash over the wall.It goes without saying (but here goes anyway) that you could guess the names at the top of the Barrel Leaderboard without having to look - Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Joc Pederson (!!), Mike Trout, Bryce Harper, etc. There is no analysis ...
