12-13 degrees seems to be the sweet spot based on this graph.  I would assume the pinch at the 90mph is the average exit velocity of MLB  which is how the defense is set up to defend. 

HS you might see that pinch at 75 or 80mph exit.   

I look at that spot as hard hit LDs on the top, to softly hit LDs and flares at the bottom. The top part includes balls going over guys' heads and balls getting down quickly in the gaps, and the bottom part is balls dropping in front of the OFers. The pinch point is still .500, but I'm guessing that half of those balls are hit at the OFs.
