No doubt, some guys can be .350 BABIP pitchers. We remember Dave Burba finishing that way...
Thing here is, Sandy (and we have a post up now) Fister not only had the .350 BABIP, but:
.348 - 2H 2010
.252 - 1H 2010
.271 - 2H 2009
.295 - Career
It's very possible that the league is "catching up" to Fister now. Also possible, though, that Fister throwing swerveballs from 10 feet in the air will create an angle that will keep the career BABIP within reason.
Which is it? The league catching up to him, or just a 2H aberration?
How do we know? I guess you're speaking from the authority of predictive validity, so...
