Reply to "Does the contact % of pitches swung at tell us anything?"

Swing and misses are related to the pitchers performance/deceptiveness not the batters accuracy.

The statistic for batters would be skewed because you can't account for which pitchers they faced in an overall statistic.  If you isolate it to each pitcher you would have useful data but the chances of one batter facing the same pitcher for 50+ pitches in a season are slim to none.
