EV against

Average exit velocity the pitcher allows (mph).

What EV against means

The pitcher-side view of exit velocity: how hard hitters square this arm up. Lower is better, and unlike ERA it is largely independent of the defense behind him.

What counts as a good EV against

Lower is better — roughly 90 is poor, 88.5 average, 87 good, and 85.5 or better elite.
