BIP Pitching Stat

[tag0519]

hi All,

Does anyone know where I can find BIP (balls in play) pitching stats? I checked baseball-reference - couldn't find it there.

Thanks in advance,
-Tom

I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for.

ipitch,

Thanks for the reply, but i don't see BIP. I see BABIP. Let me explain what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to get the data that fits into the xera formula below:

xER = xER%*(FB/10) + (1-xS%)*[(0.3*BIP-(FB/10))+BB]
where
xER% = 0.96 - 0.0284*G/F
xS% = 64.5 + (K/9*1.2) - (BB/9*(BB/9+1))/20 + (0.0012*GB%^2 - 0.001*GB% - 2.4)

thanks,
-tom

Fangraphs has it in their individual player pages, but not on the leaderboards it seems.

But you could just use AB-SO-HR+SF.
