   Feb 8, 2022 · Line Drive % (LD%) measures how often a batter hits a line drive (or pitcher induces a line drive). Line Drives are the best type of batted balls at producing hits. However, since it takes a while to stabilize, we typically need a large sample size in order to tell if an increase in a batter’s LD% is significant.

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

   • Things to Remember: ● Line drives are death to pitchers, while ground balls are the best for a pitcher. In numerical terms, line drives produce 1.26 runs/out, fly balls produce 0.13 R/O, and ground balls produce only 0.05 R/O. ● This data is tracked by Baseball Info. Solutions (BIS), which is why it’s only available for players back until 2002.

   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.

   Is a line drive a continuous or discrete data?

   • A screaming line drive up the gap 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.

   What is contact rate in baseball?

   • Contact rate (Con %) tells us how frequent a better makes contact (or pitcher induces contact). It measures the proportion of swings where the ball is hit. A foul ball still counts as contact (a foul tip does not). Contact rate is the exact opposite of whiff rate Con % = (Swings – Whiffs) / Swings CS%
