Weekly Hitter Rankings: Hits Are in a Rut

The league BABIP as of this posting is .281. Through a similar number of games last season, it was .293. Looking at component BABIP:

	Overall	Hard Ground Ball	Outfield Line Drive	Fly Ball
2025	0.281	0.236	0.685	0.120
2024	0.293	0.244	0.697	0.121

Outfield line drives are responsible for the lowest contribution, though the huge delta in BABIP is driving the difference beyond the eight-point different in hard ground balls. It’s too soon to draw conclusions since the sample is still such that luck is a significant factor. Other than luck, better defensive placement and athleticism could be the reasons along with the same for the lower ground ball BABIP.

As for this week, the Keystone State takes the spotlight with the Philadelphia Phillies and Pittsburgh Pirates each playing seven games. They’re joined by the Tampa Bay Rays as they continue their heavy home schedule. Overall, 10 teams appear seven times with the other 20 in action for six.
