I've seen this debate a bunch of times but never really seen a clear answer either way. Is there a weak contact skill?
Related: how do babip and luck tie in with LD and GB rates? Like is having a high LD rate mean the pitcher is getting unlucky or making bad pitches. And is every ball in play really equal from the pitchers perspective. It seems intuitive that "good" pitches would create worse contact than "bad" pitches but is that not true or do the number of good and bad pitches just even out over a large sample?
