Your numbers still include HR's in the denominator for BABIP rather than excluding them entirely. I believe that, after fixing this formula, we will will then see somewhat higher BABIP in hitters' counts. For example, BABIP on 3-0 counts should be .313. BABIP on 0-2 counts should be .285. (I only calculated a couple because I didn't want to spend the time to 10-key all of the numbers in the chart.)realisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15859878286157071663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-74602352207051413992015-03-17T09:19:40.362-04:002015-03-17T09:19:40.362-04:00Very interesting article.

I do think however that it is a bit of a dated perspective about pitchers having little "control" (effect is probably a better word) on the quality of hit balls. We should expect the location of a pitch to impact the quality of a hit and counts impact pitch location quite a bit. Other research has also shown that velocity (as well as a couple other things like spin) impact hit quality as well. I think this work fits well into the existing body of research.Mikenoreply@blogger.com
