I found this from a story on stats from the 2015 MLB season...

Nine to Know: From the Bill Chuck Files of 12/27/15
Batters hit .190 off Hector Santiago on the first pitch of an at bat, the lowest rate in the majors. Batters hit .484 off Ian Kennedy on first pitches, the highest rate in the bigs.

SO...seems like Ian might want to do something different with his first pitches.
Also if Dave Eiland got that corrected, it would certainly improve Kennedy's pitching stats.
Where do you find stats so you can figure a .484 average on first pitches?
