Home runs per hit


In baseball statistics, home run per hit is the percentage of hits that are home runs. It is loosely related to isolated power, which is the ability to hit for extra-base hits, including home runs. Power hitters, players who readily hit many home runs tend to have higher HR/H than contact hitters. A player hitting 30 home runs and have 150 hits in a season would have HR/H of.200, while a player who hit 8 home runs and have 200 hits in a season would have H/HR of.040.
HR/H ratio has gotten higher over time. From 1959 to 2007, HR/H for leading power hitters in MLB was.3312, with the ratio being the highest from 1995 to 2001.
