think about the defense behind the pitcher as well.
it would make sense that guys with low stuff ratings (and average movement/control) are going to allow more BIP than someone with high stuff ratings, so if your defense can give the pitcher a lower-than-average BABIP, than a low stuff rating doesn't matter that much, and could be considered a positive (think of all the SPs who "pitch to contact" IRL...if the defense is good, those are the guys that go deep in to games, and still keep a low pitch count)
