Line 43: [[MLB.com]] provides statistics for hitters, using the above four categories, as part of a "Batted Ball Profile". For example, during the 2022 season, for the balls that [[designated hitter]] [[J. D. Martinez]] of the [[Boston Red Sox]] put into play, 38.2% were ground balls, 30.8% were fly balls, 26.7% were line drives, and 4.3% were pop-ups (the four figures sum to 100%).<ref>{{cite web \|url=https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/j-d-martinez-502110?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb \|title=J.D.
