   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.

   • Within the three batted ball categories, there doesn't tend to be a whole lot of differentiation between individual players. 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.

   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.
