DIPS: nonpitchers as pitchers
This has been talked about several times in the past. Here’s an article by Voros that shows that the BABIP of a nonpitcher as a pitcher is not that much different than from a regular pitcher.
My most recent post on the subject is here (posts 5 and 6).
BABIP as pitcher, since 1993:
BABIP Primary Position
.295 Pitcher
.292 Non-Pitcher (301 BIP)***
All the stats:
BABIP HRperPA SOperPA BBHBperPA
0.295 0.027 0.168 0.096 Pitcher
0.292 0.035 0.079 0.185 NonPitcherNo surprise that nonpitchers are much worse in the component numbers: 27% more HR, 92% more walks+hitbatters, and 53% fewer strikeouts.
And even against all that, pretty much the same BABIP!
Pitchers-as-batters however have a BABIP of only 0.225.
