Message: [QUOTE="donniesyracuse, post: 4298105, member: 101"] I am browsing team stats while ignoring my zoom call. The Yankees are top 5 in most offensive categories. One exception is batting average. They are currently 15th and are exactly the league average of .242. One reason to expect this to improve is that the team's Batting Average on Balls in Play (BABIP) is well-below average (27th) at .270 (league average is .288). BABIP tends be pretty random (i.e., not a special skill that a team possesses). One could expect the team's BABIP to move towards league average, which will boost the team's overall batting average. The team is close to league average in strike out percentage (13th lowest) at 22.0. League average is 22.2. I do not expect much movement there. [/QUOTE]
