Skynet Mail of the Future: Pitching Machines

We have the following pitching machines:
MachineA: throws at 75mph
MachineB: throws at 80mph
MachineC: throws at 85mph
MachineD: throws at 90mph
MachineE: throws at 95mph
MachineF: throws at 100mph

Each machine throws only fastballs.
Each machine has the same spin.
Each machine has the same release point.
Each machine will always throw a pitch in the strike zone (which we’ll call a 2 x 2 foot square), and that location is random.

The batter is aware of all the above, and knows which machine it is facing.

What is the batter’s wOBA against each Machine.

Here’s the template for you to fill out, so copy paste the lines below and fill them out:
75: .
80: .
85: .
90: .
95: .
100: .

Don’t be influenced by what others predict.
