What determines GIDPs?
I have a (fictional) player who hit .392, .356, and .412 his first 3 years, .340 this year (ain't the 1920s great?). Average or less GIDPs till now, but this year 9% of ABs, higher than I have seen for anyone before (the next 3 worst this year--who were the worst offenders in the past--are at 3%-4%).
I don't think it can be changes in opponent pitching or defense b/c GIDPs by the rest of the team have not increased; I think they are down a little.
His GIDPs are practically all to 2B, while his other GOs are mostly to SS or P (RH with Normal GB distribution).
BB type GB, gap power above average, HR power average, speed 33. None of these have changed.
The guy who most often hits ahead of him has 44 speed; that too has been true before much or maybe most of the time.
What am I missing?
