adding stats is a simple thing, if the data is present. merely new formulas to apply and plug into a UI screen. a few thigns would be a pain to implement, but difficulty isn't the deciding factor... hopefully usefulness is.

i won't debate directly with what the op says should be in the game, i may even agree, but that should be based on demographics not a conversation between a handful of players. if, say, 10-20% want it... maybe that's the threshold it should be in the game... not necessarily a majority but a significant chunk (*this theory applies to simple stuff like the topic of this conversation, not necessarily gameplay. feedback may aid gameplay but if you won't want it, it has absoutely zero effect on you, so no worries - only apply to similar 'improvements').

the pull % stuff is kinda in there, but maybe the specific data isn't added up over time... again a simple thing to do... in this case it exists because it is available to use, but isn't calculated. it would be fairly simple to add this information in. quite hard to argue it wouldn't be useful even if you do not play stats-only.

if i am wrong it's meant just an example: i don't think they differentiate between groundballs, line-drives, and fly balls (FB/LD the same? - doesn't matter if i am wrong) in the same way that real world data used for those related stats. so, caclulating this may take a bit more... they'd have to define a line drive and a fly ball.. .and that could have implementations elsewhere in the bigger picture of how they model the game. anything that would require stepping through every baseball situation and reconfiguring to handle a new type of hit would not likely be worth it for somethign small.

edit: if the data is in the exported stats, you can make the stat yourself and export the data regularly to updata the worksheet... just a bit more effort, but it's automated after the first time setting it up.

you could do that with % contact, i think as well as quite a few others. anythign that is derivative of basic stats int he game.
