This page offers a breakdown of a player's or team's batted ball profile. The newly introduced AIR% is simply any batted ball that is not a grounder: line drives, fly balls and popups.
From 2022-24, while only 17.5% of batted balls that were “pulled airballs,” that subset was responsible for 66% of all home runs. Pulled airballs in that time produced a .547 average, 1.227 slugging percentage and .733 wOBA, making them an extremely valuable outcome. Airballs that were not pulled, by comparison, had a .319 average, .527 slugging percentage and .353 wOBA, considerably less valuable.
Qualifiers are 2.1 PA per team game for batters and 1.25 PA per team game for pitchers.
