There are occasions when the first pitch thrown is a very hittable pitch. Agreed, thats why its weird to have such a low BABIP on first pitch hits. I'd wager a guess that this stretch is more of an anomalous blip than a trend. That they're still winning 80% of their games while being unlucky with BABIP and RISP just speaks to how good this team is, really. Oh yeah, it completely is a blip. That's why BABIP is good tool to predict future performance.
