BABIP has correlation with power. It is interesting to note though, that no Major League hitter has ever finished with a BABIP of over 400. Wrights .469 BABIP is insane and is a product of good luck.
Even if he reverts back to his career average BABIP of .352 for the second half, he will still finish with a BABIP higher than .400. He has had an extremely lucky year.
BABIP is calculated: (H-HR)/(AB-K-HR+SF)
More homers would make Wright LESS unlucky, hence keeping his BABIP rather stagnet.
