Sounds like he'd be a believer in DIPS... which makes me wonder, is a DIPS style approach be relevant to batters as well as pitchers? Has it been clearly established that the hitter's skill results in a higher number of (non-HR) balls in play dropping for hits, or is it more a byproduct of the defenses he's facing?
Either way, you'd think that if Josh had such a mind for numbers, he'd start taking a look at his strikeout rates.
