   Feb 17, 2010 · 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.

   Feb 2, 2024 · Lowest: One standard deviation in line drive rate is 3%. So let’s add 3% to the average (27%) and filter to those players. Here’s our data, by the way. The average hard hit rate of a line drive is 54%. Line drives are much more often hit hard (read: above 95mph), and that’s just because of the physics of the swing.

   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.

   How often do hitters spray a line drive?

   • Line drives result in hits far more frequently than any other type of batted ball, and thus measuring the frequency at which a hitter sprays a line drive seems worthwhile. Put another way, a line drive produces 1.26 runs per out while a fly ball produces 0.13 runs per out and a ground ball produces just 0.05 runs per out.

   Does hitting line drives affect batting effectiveness?

   • The ability to hit line drives is correlated with overall batting effectiveness (GPA) and Isolated Power (ISO). However, it does not have a strong correlation with home runs. Instead, home runs are more closely tied to hitting flyballs.
