Batters pull the ball because it is where they have the most raw power. When you pull an inside pitch, you can drive your hips and get your bat moving at its fastest speed just before making contact. This frequently results in extra-base hits and home runs.
In baseball, a "barrel" is a batted ball hit so perfectly that it results in a hit at least 50% of the time and a slugging percentage of at least 1.500. To be barreled, the ball must have an exit velocity (speed off the bat) of at least 98 mph and an optimal launch angle (the vertical angle the ball leaves the bat (26-30) degrees.
