Minor league injuries dwarf major league ones, of course, because of the sheer number of minor leaguers. But why do the Yankees, Mets, and Orioles rise to the top no matter how you slide the data?

A barrel in 2025 is not the same as a barrel in 2016. I recalibrated barrels such that each season holds the outcome quality fixed (.813 AVG / 2.813 SLG). HR/aBrl SD drops from 5.71 to 0.90.
