Over the last six years, the spread between the lowest line drive rate and the highest line drive rate is 14.1-25.8 percent. Meanwhile, the spread on HR/FB ratios ranges from 0 (thanks Ben Revere) to 26.1 percent.

   Is a line drive a continuous or discrete data?

   • A screaming line drive up the game and one that’s easily caught by the shortstop are different. This is essentially another example of the data being a continuous (in launch angle, direction, and velocity) but presented as discrete data. A ball isn’t a fly ball or a line drive, it is hit at X launch angle, Y degrees from center, at Z velocity.

Naturally, line drives are good news for hitters and bad news for pitchers, as that type of ball in play turns into a hit at a high rate.
