In spite of that, they still end up with a greater probability of homering. <\/p>\n<p>This data can be combined with the batter&#8217;s power &#038; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mfooz.com\/bblog\/?p=110\">the average deeps<\/a> to estimate the number of home runs a batter will get with Deep! rolls against an average pitcher. Actually, the difference in home-run potential is so similar among the hitting types, that it&#8217;s not worth making a distinction. So, for example, a power-5 hitter will homer on about 40% of his 18.7 deep rolls against the average pitcher, effectively giving him an additional 7.5 home-run range.<\/p>\n<p>Combine this with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mfooz.com\/bblog\/?p=109\">the power distribution<\/a>, and the probability of a home run on a Deep roll works out to 20.4%. That&#8217;s an important number for rating individual pitchers against the average batter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More data from the Deep Engine.
