After some extensive Googling I couldn’t find any data about historical batting averages on the three hit types: fly balls, ground balls and line drives. So I logged into Tru Media Networks awesome baseball analytics tool and found those numbers. The table below shows the batting averages on the three hit types since 2008.
Batting Averages | |
---|---|
Line Drive | .670 |
Ground Ball | .236 |
Fly Ball | .288 |
