Same effect goes for hitters.

No, it doesn't. The accumulated league average will be around 30%, and yes, that's where we get the standard on BABIP from, but that point does NOT hold on the individual batter side. Batters DO have control over where pitches are hit.
Furthermore, I have no idea where you are getting those hit% numbers from. How can they be so vastly higher than his batting avg?
