What this means: The Edge column shows how much better (or worse) this specific handedness matchup is compared to the batter's overall HR/FB rate. A +40% edge means the batter's HR/FB rate is 40% higher in this specific L/R split — they mash this type of pitcher. Look for high-edge batters already ranked in the top 25 for the strongest plays. B/T = batter hand / pitcher throwing hand. Splits data sourced from FanGraphs platoon leaderboards with Bayesian regression for small samples.
