Yea, well I guess that would be another issue... correlating BB/HR with a lower avoid K rating. Avoid K and Contact wouldn't have to be paired though... a higher K% doesn't have to mean a lower BABIP, and vice versa.

I wasn't particularly clear- I guess I'm not looking for a rating based on BIP, but rather on contact - thus it would differ by including HR's (strictly speaking, I'd be curious if all the BIP metrics include inside the park HR's). Its not particularly relevant here.

Ah... ok, gotcha. I think you could do that pretty easily yourself by just removing K's from the equation. I'm not sure I see the relevance all that much though as strikeouts correlate with power so well.
As for the BIP metrics including inside the parkers... I would say with a large degree of certainty that they do not. However, I would imagine that they are so far and few between at this point that they don't have a material affect in the data.
