I'm curious to see if anyone has done some BABIP vs LD% comparisons.
I'm not a big fan of BABIP. To me, it says is how hard a batter is hitting the ball & whether a pitcher is getting raked. Virtually nothing to do with luck.
Doesn't LD% show you the same thing?
I'm also wondering, since we have Pitch/fx for pitchers, if anyone is doing research on how hard a ball is being hit in mph & how often say a ball coming off the bat at 120 mph turns into a hit.
