Per the Manuel on Contact
Contact is a measure of how good a player is at getting his bat on the ball. Contact directly affects a player's batting average. Players with high Contact ratings are more likely to put the ball in play and get more hits, with a higher batting average. Contact, however, has no direct effect on what the result of a hit will be.
-- This answers the contact question.

Eye- I don't know, sorry.

Avoid K's-- If a player does not strike out, only a few things can happen.
He either puts the ball in play, or he walks.
Yes, there are other ways to reach base, but I'm trying to keep it simple.

Gap Power -- Good question. Sorry I don't know.

3-1 count -- Good Question. Sorry I don't know

Hope this helps.
