It's funny: for several years, sabermetricians were quite hostile to the idea that a pitcher could sustain a low BABIP rate -- despite examples like Moyer, Zito, and Pedro who did sustain them.These days, saberamigos do seem to have discovered the idea that if a pitcher gets a disproportionate number of BIPs off those balls-out-of-zone, why mercy sakes alive, we guess that WOULD lead to a lower BABIP...So if a pitcher can get a lower BABIP that way ... isn't it just cutting the data one level finer, to say "balls in zone" or "balls centered in zone" vs. "balls on the black in the zone"?With Fister, we've been watching hitters swing at pitcher's pitches for quite a while. The Catfish Hunter game requires hair-fine mistake avoidance, but there are a few pitchers who can go a whole game with very few centered FB's.
