Since you aren't interested in learning: BABIP stands for Batting Average for Balls In Play. Pitchers don't have much control over balls that are hit in play, and therefor over the course of a large sample size BABIP #s are always expected to revert back to the mean. From Frangraphs:

 

"Context:

The average BABIP for pitchers is around .290 to .300, and pitchers have much less control over their BABIP than batters. To what degree pitchers can influence their BABIPs is still up for debate, but it has been proven that pitchers with strikeout rates tend to generate weaker contact and, therefore, allow fewer hits on balls in play. The same is generally true of relievers, as they can dial up the intensity over shorter outings.

 

Even then, though, high strikeout pitchers still have career BABIPs just slightly lower than the typical .290 to .300 range. Think Justin Verlander (.285 career BABIP) or Clayton Kershaw (.279 career BABIP).

 

And if any pitcher is posting an extremely deviant BABIP, expect them to regress toward league average."

Strasburg career BABIP = .297 (normal)

Strasburg 2014 BABIP = .357 (extremely deviant)

Strasburg 2014 High-Leverage BABIP .583 (absurdly high)

 

High BABIPS are what statistics guys are talking about when saying guys are getting "unlucky". Stasburg has been EXTREMELY unlucky in 2014, but aside from that has been a stud. (High K rates, High K/BB rates, etc.)
