Is HA related to defense, though? If Niekro or Hunter or Messersmith were backed by a stellar defense (as they were), they would give up less hits on balls put into play. Good defense up the middle (e.g., Belanger, Grich, Blair or Campaneris, Green, North) should make a significant difference in HA (and, presumably, ERA).
