   Are line-drives still a leader in batted ball results?

   • Taking a deeper look into 2018 MLB batting average on balls in play by field (BABIP), line-drives still remain the clear leader in batted ball results. It should be noted that flyball BABIP is misleading because HRs are not counted towards BABIP and most HRs are considered flyballs.

   What is the difference between a fly ball and a line drive?

   • Generally speaking, line drives go for hits most often, ground balls go for hits more often than fly balls, and fly balls are more productive than ground balls when they do go for hits (i.e. extra base hits). Additionally, infield fly balls are essentially strikeouts and almost never result in hits or runner advancement.
