So it doesn't matter if the pitcher figuratively places the ball on a tee to major league hitters, he is just unlucky when he gets hit hard, but it is the skill of the hitters that make the ball get hit hard. The pitcher that gets hit hard more often than his contemporaries is simply unlucky when when more BIP fall for hits.
Look, Mom! Science!
