What is Predicting BABIP with StatCast Data about?
This document provides an introduction to predicting batting average on balls in play (BABIP) in Major League Baseball using new StatCast data on exit velocity. Previous research developed models of expected BABIP (xBABIP) using batted ball profiles and metrics like speed and contact ability. This study aims to improve BABIP prediction by incorporating StatCast exit velocity data not used before. It will compare actual BABIP to predicted xBABIP to identify players who may have been lucky or unlucky.
