So BABIP isn't a legit stat?
?
BABIP is a record of balls in play that become hits. It's a fact. What would make it illegitimate?
I believe it's pitchers that have the huge swings in BABIP allowed per season while hitters are somewhat constant. How do you explain that?
I'm not following your argument. Maybe lay it out in a format that isn't a question.
You're not following it because you don't want to. Pitchers seem to have big swings from year to year with BABIP allowed while hitters are relatively constant.
Now I know you're on record of saying that pitchers have very little control of what happens once the ball leaves their hand. Why do you think BABIP allowed isn't constant?
