While I agree that there are pitchers with characteristics that can at least somewhat influence BABIP, you would be surprised at how much the law of averages takes over. Note that Gonsolin has faced less than 900 batters in his career. That is still a relatively low sample and gives a lot of room for regression towards the mean.
…or maybe he can keep up his run.
