Ground-Ball to Fly-Ball Ratio 2026
Ground balls divided by line drives, fly balls and popups together. Line drives and popups count on the fly-ball side, and bunts are in neither part. A value of 2 means two ground balls for each ball in the air. Rates show N/A if any ball's type is missing or the number being divided by is zero. MLBDB counts the ball types recorded in completed games, including hits, outs, home runs and bunts.
At least 100 line drives, fly balls and popups, not counting bunts in this season. Calculated by MLBDB from completed games. Ball-type rates require a recorded type for every batted ball in the selected period.

Understanding Ground-Ball to Fly-Ball Ratio
Ground balls divided by line drives, fly balls and popups together. Line drives and popups count on the fly-ball side, and bunts are in neither part. A value of 2 means two ground balls for each ball in the air. Rates show N/A if any ball's type is missing or the number being divided by is zero. MLBDB counts the ball types recorded in completed games, including hits, outs, home runs and bunts.
Formula: Ground balls ÷ (line drives + fly balls + popups)
Read rates alongside playing time. A small sample can produce an extreme result, and a missing value is different from zero.
Season rankings use regular-season records. A player has one combined row across teams; the team label identifies the associated team, not a separate team stint.
