Don't assume high Babip means he is unlucky. He makes mistakes in the heart if the plate too often and when he does hard contact results. Hard contact will always drive up Babip.

I'm not assuming, his hard hit % compared to his good years is less than 2% higher.

Essentially the only difference between last year and this year is he is getting less groundballs and giving up more flyballs. And HR's don't count for BABIP, so anything less than a HR is getting in play more often.

ETA: I doubt anyone here has seen him pitch before this year, so all we really have to go off of is historical data.
