Make it rolling a 1 or 2 on a 6 sided die if it makes you feel better but it's such a small sample, it doesn't even matter. A .300 hitter is more likely to get a hit in any situation than a .200 because he's better vs. the competition he's facing. Who is to say that's not true on individual matchups as well? Either way, I'd be wasting my time. Buy a used stats 101 text book or google "sample size". Don't pull that crap when I'm asking a valid question that doesn't necessarily fit into the 'laws of sample size'. Every time someone posts an opinion about something without facts/evidence to back it up, you call them out for not basing their beliefs/opinions on something without evidence. Now the shoe is on the other foot with you not citing evidence, and you're getting huffy and evading the question. So, I'll ask again: Where are the facts that say that the statistics of a batter vs a particular pitcher are irrelevant? Without evidence to the contrary, your opinion is just that.
