a number that nerds use to make themselves feel like they’re smart. it’s just a fancy way to say a team’s luck ran out.

"The BABIP dropped, so the team’s gonna lose all their games!", said by a guy who’s never watched a game.

"Why are we even talking about BABIP? The guy’s got a .260 average!", said by a guy who thinks average is the same as average.

"The BABIP is .275, so the team’s gonna win the World Series.", said by a guy who bet $5 on a game he didn’t even watch.
