    I'm trying to understand the depth of BABIP that much more. You wrote a piece about BABIP back on June 28th, and listed the lowest BABIP players at the time with explanations of their BABIP, plus some future expectations because of their batting tendencies up to that point. Would you be willing to write a follow up piece and touch on what you had said about each player then, and explain why their seasons panned out the way they did? It would be very much appreciated!
