Estimating BABIP
Is this new? While it has no strategic use as Tango says, I have always looked for easy access to this kind of data. When managers inexplicably change their lineup or rest or play a certain player, I have always wondered if it is because of batter/pitcher matchup data. Now I can check.
BTW, the two most prevalent myths in baseball, by far and away, among commentators, fans, players, managers, etc., is, one, hot and cold streaks, and two, batter/pitcher matchups.
