An inside-the-park HR is in play, so I would think it should count toward BABIP. Then again, it's also a HR...

quick google search...

In the park Home Runs are not tracked separately from HR and would not be included in BABIP.

Neither Fangraphs, Baseball-Reference nor MLB have in-the-park-homers tracked and thus do not include it in their BABIP calculations.

As there are only a few each year, and the number is very small in relation to the total number of hits, at-bats and home runs, these are not really a factor in making BABIP unreliable.
