Pitcher Batting Average on Balls in Play 2025

Hits allowed on balls in play, excluding home runs. Defense and contact quality affect this measure; it does not isolate a pitcher's skill.

Season

Understanding Pitcher Batting Average on Balls in Play

Hits allowed on balls in play, excluding home runs. Defense and contact quality affect this measure; it does not isolate a pitcher's skill.

Formula: (H − HR) ÷ (AB − SO − HR + SF)

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.
