I noticed that a lot of hitters hit better than normal with a runner on third base only.
Also batters tend to bat below normal with runner of second only.
Is this a trend or am I not looking at enough hitters?
I assume that situation 1 may be due to the pitcher going from the stretch and situation 2 may be due to the middle infielders not playing out of position.
Another question. Why exactly does BAbip rise for a pitcher as he goes deeper into the game? I though that BAbip was supposed to stay constant for a pitcher. It makes sense that it would rise because of the pitcher losing some of his stuff.
