If you like the stupid bit I do with my display name here's, perhaps, a bit of added incentive to pick up a BP360 subscription: I'll allow anyone who shows proof of BP360 purchase to submit a display name, and pick a winner at random bypassing the voting process. Winner gets a month, minimum.

this chart is one of my favorites
the second, pre-shift ban, mind you, had a great chart about *where* the hits were disappearing. You'll note some density on OFers playing deeper, which will eliminate some hits, but could especially turn extra bases into singles:
