Has anyone ever done a study in which they lump k/bb/hr/3b/2b's together?

I ask this simply because I think we would all agree that Silva gives up harder hit balls then Mariano Rivera. Singles in my opinion are not in the pitchers hand as you see so many weak grounders and flares that fall in.

On the other hand a lot of doubles and triples are well struck balls that hit off the wall or linedrive into the gap that even the best defenders have no chance on. Of course some of these are on the defense so its going to have a lot of flaws Id just like to know what a guy like Messersmith looks like compared to other pitchers this way.
