All 30 MLB lineups ranked by BANG, our per-PA Statcast score for how often a team puts the ball in home-run quality territory. Click any team for the full roster: platoon performance, exit velocity, individual HR totals.
This page ranks all 30 MLB lineups by combined BANG, our per-plate-appearance contact-quality score built from Statcast exit velocity, launch angle, and hit distance for every batted ball each team has produced this season. High BANG means the lineup is consistently putting the ball in home-run-quality territory. Low BANG means weak contact and rallies that fizzle. Sort descending for the best hitting teams in MLB; flip ascending for the worst hitting teams in MLB.
Batting average tells you how often a lineup got hits. OPS adds power and on-base together. Both are good summary numbers but neither isolates contact quality. Both fold together BABIP luck, sequencing, and roster depth. A team can run a high OPS through one MVP and seven dead bats, or post a mediocre average while consistently hitting the ball hard. BANG measures something narrower: how loud the contact is per plate appearance across every batter the team sends up. Pair it with the home run column on the same row to see which lineups are producing power on real contact quality (high BANG, high HR) and which have been getting lucky on weak contact (low BANG, high HR are regression candidates).
Click any team in the rankings table to open the per-batter view. You’ll see BANG, exit velocity, barrel rate, hard-hit rate, HR total, and platoon splits (vs LHP / vs RHP) for every hitter on the roster. Use this to identify lineup leverage (the right-handed bat on a team facing a LHP starter), spot platoon mismatches, and dig into individual contact quality for HR prop bets via the HR model.
The team at the top of the rankings table when sorted by BANG descending. That’s the lineup producing the loudest contact per plate appearance. Pair it with home runs and runs scored to confirm: high BANG plus high HR plus high run total means a real offense, not a small-sample blip.
The team at the bottom of the table, or the top when sorted ascending. Low BANG plus low HR plus low runs scored is a lineup quietly bleeding outs.
Those traditional rankings are composite numbers that fold luck and sequencing in with actual contact quality. The BANG view isolates contact quality. Run them in parallel: BANG flags which lineups are due for regression in either direction, while OPS and run totals catch what’s already happened.
