Regression Question

I'm doing a little experimenting with regressions and such, and I have a question. I got to BABIP and it's presenting some problems for me. How would you recommend regressing BABIP?
I know regressing to the league average would be inaccurate since it fluctuates so much between players. Would career average be the best option? Another thought I had was to regress to LD%+11, which could be better for players with a small sample size or those who had historically been very lucky/unlucky as far as balls in play. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Are you regressing pitchers or hitters?
For hitters, a three year weighted average of the hitter’s BABIP is probably a good line to regress toward.
For pitchers, role average, roughly .296 for SP and .292 for RP

Let's hope Silva regresses to average.

Not out of the question, especially given just how much better our defense will be this season
well… the outfield part of it at least

and with a new pitching coach, maybe Silva is convinced to stop grooving meatballs

What are we going to joke about when Silva leaves?
