I'd rather look at line drive percentage. BABIP can be deceiving if you think it's unlucky if the guy is popping everything up , or routine fly balls or weak ground outs. A lousy BABIP sometimes means its just that lousy hitting.

Right. I promise you I would have a .000 BABIP, if I could get the ball in play

Have you been watching him bat or looking at stats?

Both!

Considering there have been exactly 2 players since 1945 with a season BABIP of under .200, I think it's safe to say .138 is more to do with luck than lousy hitting.

 

Speaking of BABIP, Tyler Flowers is now hitting .351 on the season with a .600 BABIP. That is not good.

His swing looked longer tonite.

 

Just looked a little off at the plate. Maybe I haven't noticed him doing this during the season, but even seemed like his helmet was nearly covering his face.
