That has got to be the most bizarre stat I've seen this year. I do think Teheran has been better than a lot of people have given him credit for, but how in the heck does he have a BAA so low? Is he giving up 2 hits per game, but both him them home runs after a walk or something? That stat is tough to reconcile with what we have seen on the field lol
I suspect that is it a lot of the time
And the bloke was worth 0.7 WAR. Probably the least valuable record holder of an impressive stat in history. The Rob Deer of pitchers.[tw]1045505357961994240[/tw]

2.1 bWAR. I think BR is more accurate on Julio
All of our starters seem to be posting low BABIPs. Definitely some luck involved, especially for Teheran, but that's also the product of a great defense, which we have.
The next nearest qualifying Brave had a BABIP of .252.
Even if the Brave defense could account for some of the rest of the staff beating the average BABIP, there is no real explanation for why Teheran would be so much better.
According to what I've read, there is little to no evidence that pitcher's BABIP is a skill.
With all the baserunners Teheran had this year, if he his BABIP had even been .255, I'm guessing he would have been below replacement level rather than .7

bWAR is maybe more accurate of what actually happened...fWAR gives us a better prediction of what to expect going forward
