About this metric

Composite Repeatability combines launch-angle, spin-axis, and ball-speed-residual variation into a single score. Higher = more uniform across all axes. Best used to identify players whose entire swing — not just one component — is exceptionally repeatable.

Sam Burns
Stuff+ 103.7 · Composite Repeatability -0.21

Top-tier Stuff+ but volatile by this measure. Often a sign of intentional shaping rather than poor delivery.
