Red Sox F/X:
So I am about to wrap up my calculations but I wanted to ask a question to the readers first. I am going to be posting the BABIP, Strike % and Contact % for all of MLB according to pitch speed. Currently, I have grouped the pitch speeds into 6 categories:1. 95+2. 90-94.93. 85-89.94. 80-84.95. 75-79.96. 60-74.9Does anyone see a better way to group the speeds? I would like to do it by pitch type, but I don't have an algorithm to classify ever pitch in one go. For now, I figure this works. The 6th category is the largest range of speeds, but I figured with so little amount of pitches in that range, combined with the fact that those pitches are mostly curves and Jamie Moyer fastballs(kidding), it would make sense.I will wait a day for any responses and then post the results after that.Here is a quick tease:95+ MPHBABIP: 0.354Strike %: 64.10%Contact %: 81.98%Thanks guys.
