A popular stat for fantasy baseball managers over the last decade is BABIP (Batting Average Balls in Play). However, this data point isn’t a good reference for determining a player’s batting average. Every player in baseball has their own skill set and baseline for BABIP. Like batting average, this stat can have a wide range from season to season for each player. What looks suitable for one player in one season may be bad for another player in the same year.
The bottom line for me is that if a player hits the ball hard, he will get more hits.
