Right now, I have the player with the highest BABIP on my team as well as the lowest!
Podsednik with .512 and Teixeira with .125
Other batted ball oddities:
Nick Swisher is hitting a measly .208 yet is 5th in the league in line drive percentage (28.6%).
Derek Jeter is hitting .323 yet has the 6th lowest line drive percentage (10.7%)
Speaking of Jeter, he has hit 3 home runs, yet 73% of his balls in play have been grounders.
Juan Pierre has made contact with 97% of the balls he has swung at outside of the strike zone.
Chris Davis has made contact with 36% of the balls he has swung at outside of the strike zone.
J.D. drew is thrown a first pitch for a strike in nearly 3/4 of his plate appearances (74.2%)

What's the normal average % of 1st-pitch strikes?
From just a look at the qualified players, looks like the average is 55-60 percent. Lind is the lowest at 42%. In past seasons, Drew has been at 52-54%
Man, fangraphs is fun. I have 6 of the top 10 slider hitters in the AL!
I also have the most clutch hitter (Miguel Cabrera) as well as the least clutch hitter (Ty Wigginton).
