Yeah, going through it I figured that would make sense... I guess movement is the main influence there?...but it would make sense that a pitcher that gave up far less hits would on average give up less extra base-hits (per total hits) as well...stuff being nastier, higher % infield hits, bloopers per total hits...perhaps their movement is just on average higher as well or perhaps the stuff alone being higher keeps the extra-base hits slightly lower. You see it is not absolutely direct there with 90 being slightly lower than 95 and a few other 5 increments demonstrating the same not-exactly-direct pattern.
