Advanced Baseball Statistics (Number of hits for each type of batted ball)?
Is there anywhere that has statistics for each player’s number of hits for each type of batted ball?
For example, Baseball Prospectus lists the number of times a player hits a line drive each year, but it doesn’t list the number of times those line drives fell in for a hit. Is there anywhere that does this? I’d prefer a free site but subscription sites work too.
Thanks in advance.
I would try Baseball Reference first as they always seem to have the odds and ends type stats —

Legends Never Die found one that has some incredible stats to it, but I’m not sure it will have specifics like what you’re looking for. It’s call Retrosheet —

I hope this helps.
