Yeah it's also why it's no surprise that Stevenson leads the team in the category by far.

Hits line drives, and beats out ground balls.

Scenario: bases empty and 2 outs. batter reaches on an error off of pitcher 1. pitcher 2 comes in and gives up a HR, then gets out the inning.


Stats
Pitcher 1: 0.2 ip, 1 r, 0 er
Pitcher 2: 0.1 ip, 1 r, 1 er
TEAM : 1.0 ip, 2 r, 0 er


also, any subsequent runs would be earned for the pitchers but not the team.

A sight I never get tired of: greenie fans slinking out of the park, inning by inning, as the score mounts & mounts & mounts.

I can't help but love reading Ye olde green wave forums when LSU plays Tulane

The level of delusion and jealousy that gets spewed there is actually genuinely funny to me

It is pretty funny. The only problem is that site gets like 40 posts a month.

Guys, help me think this through. Bregman's BABIP is .043 less than his BA.

.284 BABIP vs .327 BA. That tells me he is having some tough luck with hits not falling in. Correct?

Everyone else's BABIP except Scivique's is higher than their BA.

It also a function of not striking out very much. Some guys will get out by striking out, whereas Bregman has only whiffed 3 times in over 100 PA.

It only counts balls that stay in the field of play. So Sciv's and Breg's home runs factor into that. If HRs weren't excluded, Bregman's would be .327 and Sciv's would be .429, & the team's would be .371.

But since he strikes out so little, that means Bregman's outs all come in the field of play. Partially due to "bad luck" of alot of those liners being caught.

Comparatively speaking, a strikeout is better for BABIP than batting average, and a sacrifice fly is worse. Since Bregman has the same number of each, they effectively cancel out, and his BABIP is his batting average minus HRs. As you said, this has a lot to do with Bregman not striking out often (only 3 Ks this season).

Taking an ordinary HR out is not counterintuitive. BABIP is meant to spot luck, bad or good. There's nothing lucky about a ball hit over the fence not being fielded.

Taking an inside the park hit away is indeed counterintuitive.

Agreed. The ball is in play for an inside-the-park home run, so why not count it towards BABIP? Just grouping it with an ordinary HR feels like laziness.

Pretty amazing that Laird's is higher than Chinea's, but he did turn on one for his double last night so maybe he will start doing it more often.
