Hitting Statistics

[fisher18]

I recently saw a list of a hitter batting average throughout the at bat. Is there anyone who has a copy of these or knows of a website where I could find them??

It was generalized for all hitters, but for example would be like:

0-0 Count a hitter is a .250 hitter
1-0 Count a hitter is a .300 hitter
(those are just examples!!)

Thanks

It's in the player's stats on Yahoo under situational hitting.

The only stats I found there were for real MLB players. I am looking for a list that can be generalized to my team?? Thanks for your help!!

Are you asking how you’d track it for your team, how you could get a total list of every ML player to show your team, or how you can get a list of how all ML hitters do on specific counts?

I can kinda help if you want to see an example.

If you go to pages 24&25 at http://www.infosports.com/scorekeeper/images/spcounts.pdf you can see what I found a few years ago for both MLB and NCAA DI. In general, those numbers don’t change very much.

But, if you’ll notice, ML and D1 players are not the same, and the HS team I scored for and their opponents were different too. That’s because the sill levels at the different levels are very different indeed.

What is it you’re trying to show or to see?

The Hit Chart




Count Hitter's Expectation (Thought) Expected Batting Avg.
0-0 Fastball (See it-Hit it!) .318
0-1 Pitchers Choice (My Pitch/My Zone) .238
0-2 Any Pitch Close (Put it in play/Battle) .094
1-0 Fastball (Tighten my zone) .359
1-1 Pitchers Choice (My Pitch/My Zone) .282
1-2 Any Pitch Close (Put it in play/Battle) .166
2-0 Fastball (Drive it!) .373
2-1 Fastball (Drive it!) .366
2-2 Pitchers Best (Protect/Compete!) .316
3-0 Fastball (My best Zone only!) .250
3-1 Fastball (Drive it!) .365
3-2 Typically Fastball (Compete!) .263

The Hit Chart is not a 100% true and accurate statistical chart. It is simply a gauge of probable results based on thousands of at-bats in like situations. The neat thing is that you can take the above information and quickly see that when a hitter is ahead in the count with less than two strikes, it leads to RED HOT averages!

When a player is behind in the count the averages drop considerably. With two strikes on the hitter it generally leads to FREEZING COLD averages!

Neutral counts like 1-1 and even 3-2 tend to lead to decent averages.

Ironically, the 2-2 count where a hitter simply has to compete with his best against the pitcher's best, it usually ends up in the hitter's favor!

So, what can you learn from this? If you get YOUR pitch... in YOUR zone... up until two strikes you will be a much better hitter!

Or, as my good friend Rick Down puts it; "Hit what you want to until 2 strikes, after 2 strikes... hit what you can!"

Know your best hitting zone. Your HOT zones and your COLD zones.

Know your swing.

Have the discipline to swing at YOUR pitch in YOUR zone up until two strikes!
