5/6... Giants game 3 (let's salvage 1)

And as I suspected Acuna did make the jump to the top 10 in exit velocity. He's 8th at 94.9 and will go up after his first ab today.
 
Outside of a few absurd plays against Acuña by Longoria and Crawford, both teams have been pretty damn poor on defense this series.

It's already been proven that average doesn't increase as exit velocity does.

Nelson Cruz leads the majors with a 97 exit velocity this year and has a 248 BABIP

Dee Gordon has the 2nd worst exit velocity at 79.8 and has a 411 BABIP

It just doesn't correlate

Rather than go by the person, how about babip on all balls hit over 100 mph? It may have already, but person by person can be deceiving imo... say judge has a killer exit velocity avg, but he could build that avg up by hitting HR rockets and bring down babip by the pop ups where he misses. I'm not trying to say the study or you 2 are wrong... just wondering if this could be the case
