Hit F/X isn't public yet...so a lot of the commentary you'll hear from certain analysts will be circumspect (not just talking about me here...there are studies on Hit F/X data at BP and the like) and it's difficult to get ahold of that information at the moment. I can't even get it now...I'm moshing off of what I saw last year and what the less accurate ESPN/BIS method produces that corroborates the same trend continuing in 2014.
I should be a bit careful, because I don't have access to 2014 pitching information to see whether the pitchers are benefiting from good "luck" now..they weren't really last year or any of the previous three other than the expected 25-40 point deflection in projected OPS caused by the weather effects and I am sort of assuming that they aren't again.
When MLBAM releases Hit F/X publicly, this kind of discussion will get a lot easier to have...not sure if that's likely in the near future though
