Notes

  1. Batting average on balls in play, or BABIP, is the calculation of the batting average of all playable batted balls only. It excludes strikeouts and home runs and includes sacrifice flies. This statistic is widely variable, as defense, "luck", and opposing team's talent levels all affect BABIP. Most hitters' BABIP falls within or close to the range of .290 and .300. [1] According to Baseball-Reference.com, Peralta's career BABIP through 2013 was .315. [2]
