   What percentage of a batted ball is a line drive?

   • 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. Meanwhile, the spread on HR/FB ratios ranges from 0 (thanks Ben Revere) to 26.1 percent.

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

   • 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. However, a deeper look reveals some flaws in this line of thinking. Steve Staude created a neat little tool that correlates almost every hitting stat imaginable.
