Sorry I should have mentioned that BABIP stands for batting average on balls in play. This means that when the player makes contact what is his average. Keep in mind that this does not include home runs as they aren't technically in play.
Normally .300 is average and players can expect to regress to that level depending on the type of player they are. Fast players generally have higher BABIPs since they can leg out hits and slow guys might be lower. Line drives are better than fly balls that stay in the park and this will affect the number as well.
