     • In theory, line drive rate is a great statistic. 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.

   May 20, 2020 · To connect on a line drive, a hitter essentially needs to connect with the ideal launch angle, and that can happen on any particular pitcher. Therefore, if a pitcher had a very low line drive rate the following year, he can probably expect for that percentage to jump up significantly the following year. Luck.

   Jul 15, 2009 · Check the line-drive rate, and if it's up in the 21-plus percent range, the BABIP is legit. It's been shown that LD percentage + .12 is a good "quick and easy" formula to assess BABIP.

   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.

   Who has the second highest line drive rate since 2008?

   • The second highest line drive rate since 2008 belongs to Ruben Tejada, who owns a .259/.323/.319 line for an 81 wRC+. Given this information, it would appear that line drive rate, at least in its publicly available form, isn't all that useful. Here are three reasons why. 1. Three batted ball categories just isn't accurate enough.

   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.

   What is the correlation between line drive rate and WRC+?

   • Line drive rate has a year-to-year correlation of .36. Right off the bat (pun very much intended) it's evident that this might not be the most reliable statistic. The correlation with wRC+ is even weaker at just .19.

   When evaluating a player, it is helpful to know what kind of “ball in play events” that player is most likely to create, because they are not all of equal value. 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.
