Answer key: BABIP worksheet

  1. 1. BABIP: 0.24

    1. Hits on balls in play: take home runs out of the hits, since no fielder could play them

      140−28=112
    2. Balls in play: at-bats minus strikeouts and home runs, plus sacrifice flies

      575−85−28+4=466
    3. Divide hits on balls in play by balls in play. That share is BABIP

      BABIP=112466=0.240343
    4. Round to three decimals, the way box scores show it

      0.240343 → .240
    5. Subtract the reference BABIP to see how far above or below it this stretch is

      0.240343−0.2=0.040343
  2. 2. BABIP: 0.292

    1. Hits on balls in play: take home runs out of the hits, since no fielder could play them
