Home Field Advantage: Part One

To most of us, the concept of BABIP isn’t new. It’s a measure of a pitcher’s batting average against on balls put in play. The theory is that, once a bat has struck a pitched ball, pitchers have little control with what happens to that ball. They control homers, so they’re removed from the calculation but they have little control over whether a fielder is able to field the ball successfully.
